Richard Arneson's thirteen years working in corporate America drove him up a tree, literally. Once he escaped the telecommunications industry after ten years of service, he built a tree house, ostensibly for his two young sons, installed electricity and cable TV, and set out to fix himself, deciding that dealing with the memories of working in the goofy-as-hell world of corporate America could only be accomplished by getting them down on paper. Citizen Dick is the result. Arneson is currently working on his next novel, The Tree House, which ironically, is not being written in his tree house but in the cab of his 1950 Chevy pickup truck. Arneson lives in Dallas, Texas with his wife and their two sons. He plans on building a second story on his tree house in early 2009. See less
