You have reached the website for the collected fiction writing by Rick Hayes, because he had to put it somewhere.

Here, Rick posts as Vormyr, a minor character in his first full-length novel Mother’s Light, where he is a historical figure. Vormyr is renowned for his tapestries, intricate and disturbing, as he attempted to record mystical visions of apocalypse. Future or past?

Rick lives in the Bay Area of California with two cats and a patient wife. During the week, he works in data science and genomics, and publishes under the pseudonym Richard D. Hayes.
