Liam grew up in South Bedfordshire in the 70s and 80s. Writing from an early age, it became clear that he was never going to wrote an opus with sweeping great descriptive passages. His own voice served much better for the tales he wanted to tell. As his grandmother always said 'Liam, stick to what you know'. Liam Richards isn't even Liam's name. Its a pseudonym He came up with as a stage name in 1997 as an homage to Romy & Michele's High School Reunion (his favourite film).
