Rich Thayer was born and raised in northwest Ohio. In high school, he developed a passion for writing, and in college, a passion for computers. After earning a computer science degree, he combined those interests in a 32-year career in technical communication. He moved to San Jose, California and worked as a technical writer and technical publications manager for several Silicon Valley technology companies.
Retired from technical writing, he now writes fiction. "Into the Shimmering Light" is his debut short story collection. Rich enjoys technology, hiking and nature, local history, concerts and music (listening, not playing), gardening, and line dancing. A father of two and grandfather of three, his most satisfying activity is spending time with his family.

Short Stories
Into the Shimmering Light is Rich Thayer's debut short story collection. Set in northwest Ohio, these stories are about the continual process of finding and pursuing a path through life. You’ll meet people young and old guided by nature’s shimmering light. You’ll join them as they swim in an icy river, skate in a 1970’s roller rink, spit on rocks in search of agate, and sip wine with a dying friend. You’ll be at their side through a life-balancing blizzard, an intimidating internship, an unexpected fork in the river, and a change in retirement plans.
