I am thirty-seven years old and live in Tucson, Arizona, in the United States. Since a young child, I have been building different types of models, most of which I have sold.

I have paranoid schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Paranoid schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder are mental illnesses which are treatable with medication, which I take. At this time, I haven't fully recovered from paranoid schizophrenia. I still might suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder, which only time will tell if I do.

I enjoy writing for children which is what I love. For more information, please visit my official Web site at www.richardcarlsonjr.com. I publish a blog about my writing and other things in my life including a little bit about my paranoid schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
