Overview
"I've been working with Rick for almost 20 years, starting with my first book title in the US, and, many later, ending with one that went on to become an international best-seller. " - Stephen O'Brien
"Rick is one of those people you meet in your career where you feel so very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him. He has been an editor on 4 of my 5 books at Pearson and the experience has been just phenomenal. He has a unique blend of imagination, creativity, precision, patience, inspiration, and integrity. " - Andy Walker
"When Rick brought my book to Que Publishing, I knew it was in good hands. From his keen eye to detail to his dedication to every project under his care, Rick makes every book he touches better. I am so grateful that I got to work with him at Pearson, and I look forward to one day working together again on another book." - Melissa Ford
