Autorenporträt
Richard De A'Morelli, a seasoned author and editor with a remarkable career spanning over half a century, is not just a storyteller but a time traveler of sorts. As an 18-year-old, in a very different world that existed decades before the Web and Amazon.com, Richard penned his debut work, Numerology: The Key to Your Inner Self. That book became a supermarket bestseller and was translated into four languages. In an era when the echo of typewriter keys was the soundtrack to the creation of literary masterpieces, he went on to publish a dozen books on the mysteries of numerology and parapsychology, creating two more supermarket bestsellers that resonated with readers around the globe-Psychic Power and Numerology for Lovers. Now, fifty years later, De A'Morelli is presenting a golden anniversary edition of his third book, Numerology for Lovers. This captivating work, written at a time when the publishing world was a vastly different landscape, serves as a testament to his profound journey as an author. While the years have seen De A'Morelli transition from parapsychology to a bestselling author of books on grammar and writing, the essence of his work remains unchanged-to enlighten and engage readers through compelling prose and thought-provoking themes. Throughout his career, Richard has held prestigious Executive Editor and Managing Editor positions, also serving on the editorial staff of mega-bestselling author Irving Wallace. His impressive portfolio as an author includes two dozen books, covering a spectrum of genres from self-help to fiction, including the widely acclaimed Elements of Style 2017, as well as three novels penned under pseudonyms and over 500 by-lined articles. The clarity and accessibility of his writing style, coupled with his profound understanding of the written word's subtleties, have solidified his position as a respected figure in the literary domain. As you turn the pages of Numerology for Lovers, allow yourself to be transported back in time, to an era when Richard De A'Morelli was hard at work on a portable Smith Corona typewriter and just beginning to leave his indelible mark on the literary landscape. Journey with him through this fascinating book, and you'll discover that, much like numbers, Richard's wisdom and insights are timeless.
