Richard James Beard (born 12 January 1967) is an English author of fiction and non-fiction books and short literature. He is the winner of the 2018 PEN/Ackerley prize for his memoir The Day That Went Missing. Beard was born in Swindon, England. He is the second of four sons of Felicity, a former nurse, and Colin, an executive with a family construction company. When he was a teenager, his parents adopted two daughters. When Beard was eleven years old, his younger brother Nicky drowned while the two of them were swimming together in the sea on a family holiday in Cornwall, out of sight of anyone else. This event and its aftermath would be recounted by Beard forty years later in his 2017 memoir The Day That Went Missing. More information...
