Local author Ric Wasley introduces
his newest novel Candle in the Wind. The work of historical fiction has earned
high praise from authors like William Martin who says, “Here's your invitation to visit Civil War America, to go to the seat of
war and the seat of domesticity as well, to know not only the fears of the
soldier but the worries of the family he leaves behind. Once Candle in the
Wind takes hold, you will not want to put it down. It's lively, evocative,
and bursting with drama.”
Ric Wasley is a writer and lecturer as well as the author of
the popular McCarthy Mystery Series set in Boston in 1968. Ric has a 40 year
professional career history in advertising, publishing and marketing in Boston, New York and
San Francisco.
He has degrees in history and psychology and has been trained in debating,

in numerous professional and business settings as a presenter and featured

visiting professor at Worcester Polytech Institute. He also teaches a popular
course on marketing for authors at prominent venues such as the venerable “Cape
Cod Writers Conference”. Wasley currently divides
his time between the Boston Metro-West and his home on Cape
Cod where he continues to write, lecture and create worlds where
the unexpected thrives.
