Riaan Marshall
Riaan Marshall published his debut novel in early 2023. Extremely favourable reviews motivated Riaan to translate his first novel from Afrikaans into the English language as Sucker Punch. He lives on the Arvert peninsula in southwest France where he writes, does sculpture, surfs Atlantic Ocean waves, plays golf and loves to entertain his five grandchildren. He is a veteran of eleven marathons and a retired electrical engineer, with forty years of corporate career spanning five countries. A certified amateur writer is his second career, though his first love. Born in South Africa, where he lived for forty years, he uses each opportunity to revisit his roots.
