Featured Interview With Richard Dietrich Maddox
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I grew up in the Midwest and graduated with honors from Princeton University. After graduation, I spent five years in Europe studying literature and preparing to teach meditation. I taught meditation full-time for two years before serving as the Vice President of Sales for seven successful high-tech startup companies. In 2005, I retired from the business world to concentrate on writing. I am the author of the number-one Amazon-bestselling Enlightenment novels, “Remembering Eternity,” “The Whisper of a Saint,” “Lucinda,” and “The Enlightenment of Joshua Inly,” all of which have been highly acclaimed by readers.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I loved to read, especially fairy tales and fables, as a child. I spent most of my college time reading diverse material, from fiction to philosophy. I began writing after graduating from college.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Tolstoy, Mann, Dostoevsky, Proust, Lawrence
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book tells the story of a woman who attained her goal of finding perfect spiritual Enlightenment. It is the tale of a long search, something along the lines of “Siddhartha.”
