Tony B. Richard

I started as a computer programmer and ran a consulting business until I lost it by putting people before profit. Since then, I’ve worked as a teacher, para-transit driver, youth camp staff, and support worker in recovery homes and care facilities. Through it all, one thing remained constant: my love of storytelling and science fiction. The Series The Earth’s Secret Alliance novellas follow the same historical timeline from different characters’ perspectives—including a young Black soldier, a girl in a wheelchair, and a brilliant 19-year-old engineer. Together, they uncover the truth behind a UFO crash, protect peaceful aliens from a ruthless enemy, and grapple with what it means to be human. These stories are now part of a complete novel, From Roswell to Area 51, and I’m currently adapting them into a 5-movie screenplay series. What’s Next? I’m continuing to expand the ESA universe—with more stories, more characters, and more surprises ahead. Whether you’re a fan of Star Trek, Stargate, Men in Black, Hidden Figures, or The Giver, there’s something here for you. Thanks for reading, and welcome to the Alliance. — Tony
