He studied Design, Graphics and Desktop Publishing. He also took two different writers’ courses, one of them being the Famous Writers Course founded by Bennet Cerf and Rod Serling (though these two were not his private instructors), and the other from an award-winning Utah poet. He has illustrated many books and designed many covers (including the cover for this book). He has also done typesetting, editing and ghostwriting, much of it for two Utah-based book publishers.
Mister Richardson’s enthusiasm for art has resulted in three features in Utah newspapers, namely: the announcement that he won second-place and three dollars in the Deseret News Buck Rogers drawing contest in 1956, an article in the Church Section of the Deseret News covering the unveiling of a painting he did of the Manti temple for the Snow College LDS seminary in 1967, and an article in the Arts Section of the Salt Lake Tribune covering a class he was giving on cartooning.
Sam has written four other fiction books: Soul of Paradise, Carolee’s Shadow, a religious philosophy book called The Devil Loves the Goddess, and Kayleen, It’s Okay to Cry, based on a true story. His non-fiction work includes Becoming True Saviors of Men, Formulas to Move Heaven, The Spirit of God like a Fire Is Burning which contains true stories of miracles in the author’s families, and the families of his cousins with which he grew up and worked, and How to Make Your Own Lathe, Drill Press and Table Saw.
Sam Richardson has also published a book of most of the poems he had written by the year 2013.
He has published and will be marketing a book his sister—Nancy Petersen—wrote called Terra Magic. Mr. Richardson has taken passages from his journal to create a mini journal dedicated to his sojourn in Vietnam called Sam’s Vietnam.
He enjoys many arts: Drawing and Painting, Music, Music Theory, Writing and Poetry.
Sam is the widower of Clara Moya, has two children, seven grandchildren and a great-granddaughter.view less
