I write about family and friends, home and travel, food and wine, the odd and ordinary in everyday life. I’ve published four collections of essays, a memoir, and a novel.
My most recent work, Snapshots, is micro memoir, a collection of 50 short narrative pieces. The book is also an invitation for the reader to write, to capture vivid memories, distant and recent, that make up a life. That project has expanded and is taking shape in A Micro Memoir Project.
“Whether savoring pasta in Romagna or recalling a lesson from his father, Rick writes to honor what many overlook. His voice is steady, thoughtful, and joyfully grounded in what matters most.” (John Rinaldi, The Positive Pen)
