About the Author, Richard Carlson

Me at about 40 years old.



Me at 11 years old.



Me at 12 years old.



Me at age, 12 or 13. I was unaware that I was sensitive as compared to most people as a teenager. I figured out that I was more sensitive than most people at almost 21 years old. About 15 to 20 percent of both males and females have the sensitivity trait.

When I was growing up, I was told I was too sensitive at times and was very shy. I remember once telling my mother about how tough I was, because of the idea that boys and men aren't supposed to show feelings, except for anger and are supposed to be macho.

Were you bullied at school?

All during elementary through high school, my sensitivity made me a target for bullies and at times I put up with a lot of grief because I found it difficult to stand up for myself. I incorporate many experiences I had into my writing.

Are you married? Do you have any children?

I am going to get married as soon as I find a wonderful woman to fall in love with and I might adopt older kids of different races. I wish I had a family like in my children's picture book, We are a Multiracial Family.

Is there something special you’d like to share?

I would like everyone to know that I really appreciate people reading my work. It is also nice when people post honest reviews online. Thank you very much!
