Richard Burris, a proud family man and an Air Force Veteran, is a resident of South Florida since 2001. He was born in a small, southwest Missouri community where he spent his youth enjoying the beauty and learning the values of a rural lifestyle. It was also where he first discovered his love of art. Intrigued with the biblical illuminations in a book given to him one Christmas when he was still a boy, he vowed to paint some of his own one day. This collection is a testament to his will and his lifelong dream, and showcases his series which he finally completed 74 years after his initial exposure to his life-changing gift.

His Book, 12 PILLS, cracked the top 100 Mystery books on Amazon, landing him a space right between James Patterson and Michael Connelly. This was a huge honor as both of those authors are among his favorites.Having grown up in Missouri, where he earned a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Missouri, Kirk now makes his home in South Florida and swears he doesn't miss shoveling snow and ice to free his car. A fan of Kansas City, it has become the primary backdrop to his books thus far, though they also explore Miami, Washington D.C. and his romantic favorite, Paris, France.
