Our Travel Experiences
Richard Hayden was born in the Land of Lincoln, but due to his father being carreer army, he was on the move most of his life. Having lived in such exciting places as St. Nazaire, France, traveling the Normandy Beaches and visiting different German bunkers left over from WWII, he develeoped a strong feeling for history. Later in life, after serving in the Armed Forces, he completed a BA in English with a minor in Communications. Becoming an English teacher Richard was lured into teaching two history classes as his school was short a teacher. That launched a 28 year carreer as an American History teacher.
Before teaching, he met and married his lovely wife L. C. Hayden, who not only taught, but was a born writer. This eventually led to Richard's interest in writing and finally publication of his novel COVER-UP.
R. L. Hayden's first novel Cover-Up is a fictional account of the Roswell Incident. In it, he has taken many of the different legends, myths and facts surrounding the event and blended them into a thrilling adventure story. The novel continues to receive rave reviews, proclaiming the "reality" of the story.
Oh wow! Is it? Gosh, is it really? Oh.....
Hayden has spent many years and hours researching the Roswell Incident, visiting the debris field as well Rachel, Nevada (home of Area 51). The author is currently involved in operating several online stores, keeping sevel websites current, and plotting a couple of future novels. One of which will be another Rick and Sarina adventure taking them into the backcountry of British Columbia, Canada (who woulda thought!), while the other would be the start of a mystery series involving an older couple who move to Homer, Ak (mmm...), open a coffee shop/bookstore and proceed to get involved in other peoples problems often facing danger themselves.
RL loves to spend time researching his novels, often visiting the locals several times. He takes many photographs to refer back to while writing. Hayden devotes as much time as necessary to research anything that may affect his story.
Hayden, a Navy veteran, served time at the Naval Communications Station Philippines during the Viet Nam conflict. While in the Philippines, Hayden experienced his only UFO event.
Two things: First, I'm putting a map of western Canada and Alaska here-because I love traveling the Alaskan Highway and I can.
Second, visit my homepage for the first chapter of Cover-up and the first few chapters of several other works in progress--feel free to comment on any of the works.
