Chester L. Richards

Chester L. Richards, author of 'From The Potato to Star Trek and Beyond,' aerospace engineer (ret), adventurer, storyteller, romantic
 Welcome! Do pull up a chair, for I have stories to tell. Stories about rockets. Stories about writing, beginning with the time my friend Judy and I, on a lark, wound up writing what became "The Tholian Web" on Star Trek.

Stories about being almost killed. By The Great Potato. By the Colorado River. By a crocodile. By a crazed gunman in Ethiopia....

Stories about fascinating people.

Most of all, stories that reveal that when we look at even the everyday as an adventure, life sparkles.

My Mantra: Put More Adventure in Your Life!

Big News!
