"I have three great passions in life, aside from my devotion to my family.
My first and greatest passion is to explore the eternal conflict of good versus evil. As a young child I was hooked on stories from the Bible. I was schooled early on that "good always triumphs over evil." What gets overlooked in that perspective is that evil may lose in the end but it sure can produce a great deal of pain and suffering until it's defeated. By now it's is obvious that evil doesn't keep a score card!
My second greatest pass is observation. I thoroughly enjoy watching and listening to people, their voices, their body language, and their emotions. How people react to one another and to events is deeply fascinating. What do we fear? What do we yearn for? What do we lust for? What do we need? What would we sacrifice? These and many more questions when answered, serve to peel back the many layers we all wrap ourselves in. The answers serve as seed for a story not yet told?
My third greatest passion is reading. I love to read. I am a voracious reader. I have been reading since I was barely four years old. My earliest reading evolved quickly. I consumed the classics. I truly enjoy and admire authors such as Stephen King, who I idolize. I also love the work of Tom Clancy, Anne Rice, Nora Roberts and her pseudonym J.D. Robb books. I am a huge fan of Brad Thor, Stephanie Meyers, J.K. Rowling, James Patterson, Dan Brown, and David Baldacci. And there are dozens more that I equally enjoy.
So now, my life's journey is focused upon and embracing a new and more powerful passion. Long have I sampled the wondrous creations of so many authors! I now yield to the siren call and create and share my own stories; to tell the stories rich with conflict between good and evil, to tell these stories through fictional people whose troubled lives I lay out before the reader.
Dear reader, it is you who eternally holds in your hands and in your minds-eye total control over the urge to turn the page. I pray that this urge many now beckon once morel that it calls out to each of you once again. This urge to find adventure through reading is calling to you once more; know that it cannot be satisfied. It must be fed, again!
Please join me on a new, dark and mysterious journey!
Do you dare resist?"
p raise for Deadly Whispers
"Richard Hatin fans rejoice! He's done it again.
Dea
dly Whispers is a thrill-loaded, pulse-pounding
race by four boys between a harmless foray
into a
cave in 1962, and the unspeakable horror that will
haunt them for the rest of their lives. Death, suicide, mental problems follow them like a plague until the only solution is
to pit someone close and dear to them against pure evil. Set time aside before you pick up this one because you won't be able to put it down." -- Don Helin

Richard Hatin's "Deadly Whispers" reminds you what it was like as a child to have the hair stand up on the back of your neck at the fear of what might have been living under your bed. With a fast-paced style, Hatin's characters dig up emotions long ago buried and take you to a past they had thought conveniently suppressed. A riveting story that will make you think twice about a career in spelunking!" -- Rick Robinson

P RAISE FOR Evil Agreement
"The road to Armageddon runs directly through
Sutton, Vermont and is paved with the souls of
Aaron Bailey's ancestors. In Richard Hatin's
inaugural effort, he has woven a taut tale of the
ultimate battle between good and evil."
Rick Robinson, author, Writ of
Mandamus, 2010 Independent Author of the Year
"In his novel, Evil Agreement, Richard L. Hatin unleashes a pulse-pounding, page turning battle of Good versus Evil. Alone, Aaron Powell must confront the forces of Darkness with the fate of the world hanging in the balance."
Don Helin, Author of Devil's Den and Thy Kingdom Come.
"This book is the struggle that goes on daily between good and evil in our lives that we never really are aware of, or see. Aaron Bailey is aware of it and sees it first hand as this novel goes to a small town in Vermont which is corrupted with evil towns people. Aaron almost loses himself but changes the town to good in the end with God's power. Richard Hatin walks the fine line of good versus evil and brings this out with well developed characters and page turning suspense."
