Randy Attwood

Randy Attwood has been a journalist and a public relations professional. He grew up at the state psychiatric hospital in Larned, Kansas, where his father was the dentist. Here, he reads the opening of his novella "One More Victim":

Randy Attwood has written eight novels and two collections of shorter works – all of them available on Amazon.

Although Attwood considers himself primarily a fiction writer, he has also written poems. Two of those are archived on SoundCloud, along with all of our WORD readings and bonus tracks by some writers.
