When William Alan Ritch was in third grade he made the mistake of looking beyond the school library's 500s section - with its books on rockets, dinosaurs, and chemicals - to the books with just an "F" on their spine, to read his first novel: "Have Space Suit - Will Travel" by someone named Heinlein. He was captured by the glory of the imagination and subverted by the subtle, but radical, political philosophy. Since then he as written and had published a handful of short stories, as well as several audio plays and stage plays, including several musical comedies. He is currently the president of the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company where he and large cadre of enthusiasts are trying to revive a moribund art form.
