Romantic comedy author Rich Amooi

You never know where inspiration may come from. Rich Amooi spent more than three decades as a Bay Area radio personality. Learning Spanish led to a chance meeting that would change his life. He’d meet his eventual wife who encouraged him to take writing classes. That led to a career change that’s led to the publication of 12 novels. The self-named King of Romantic Comedy took time away from writing his 13th to tell his story. For anyone that ever wonders if it’s too late to make a change in life, Rich’s story may give you the extra push you need. A true lesson in living life to the fullest.
