Richard Roper

Richard Roper is a British author who made his debut with "How Not to Die Alone" (also titled "Something to Live For" in some regions).

The idea for the book came to him after reading an article about people whose job involves arranging funerals for those who die alone.

This sparked his imagination and led to the creation of the story.

Roper's writing style has been praised for its humor, heart, and ability to tackle heavy themes with a light touch.

While this is his first novel, the success and positive reception of "How Not to Die Alone" have established him as a promising new voice in contemporary fiction.
