Richard Emmet Burke

Author Bio:

Born in Washington D.C. Three years in the US Marines, mostly overseas. BS in Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Maryland. Married Nancy and off to Yale Graduate School for an MS in Industrial Administration. Built ships and submarines with General Dynamics in Groton CT and Quincy MA. Peformed many roles for Citicorp in New York, Montevideo, Buenos Aires, and St. Louis. Managed an air charter. Managed counterparty credit for Bank of America's U.S. derivative traders in San Francisco. Empty nesters, Nancy and I live in Shepherdstown WV. Our three sons and daughter live in CA, TX, MD, and WV. In 2014, I independently published the Raising Up Pharaoh epic sextet of novels and started my website RaisingUpPharaoh.com in which I wrote 249 blog posts until attacked by the Cancel Culture in 2020; I recently moved it to a Christian web host and will resume writing posts shortly. My new Ms, "Cherub's War," was being sent to agents this year before I realized (while listening to Jerry Jenkins webinar) that I had treated my antagonist, Satan under his Mesopotamian alias Enki, as a cartoon bully and have worked the past six months upgrading him to the first creature in God's creation, and the first to go bad--with satisfying results. I forecast I'll complete this edit and be ready to return to marketing next winter.
