Richard Ernest Mora grew up on the Texas-Mexican ‎border to graduate with an anthropology degree. ‎Pursuant to traditional life, Richard took several ‎industry professional positions that gave way to ‎copywriting and marketing. After working with non-‎profit organizations with content, Richard began ‎composing literature full time in 2018, where titles of ‎science fiction and graphic ethnography helped paint ‎Richard's eclectic style. Richard also found faith to be ‎primal in his life balancing bipolar disorder which is ‎how Treating Penance found its premise. Father and ‎practicing optimist, Richard writes in a way that ‎speaks to all.‎
