Biography:
the author of A Peace of My Mind and Words Like Wine, recently released his debut novel, Letters From Lima. The new book takes readers on a journey inside a world they never knew existed to uncover the truth and discover themselves all over again.
He aims to help people find inner peace and contentment amidst the chaos of modern life. Ancient Latin American wisdom and Eastern philosophies permeate Randall’s work while he employs a dry sense of humor and employs a dry sense of humor and Zen-like deadpan. His unique style encourages us to look inward in order to make decisions for themselves, rather than be swayed by external influences. Through his writing, he strives to help people choose their own paths and embrace the miracle that is reality.
