Founder/Publisher

RICHARD PAOLINELLI

Founder/Publisher

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our founding partner, James Christina, on Sunday, June 19, 2022.

Jim had been battling respiratory issues related to his time in service during the Vietnam War in the 1970s and finally succumbed to those injuries.

He was a great writer, a savvy businessman, a musician, and, more importantly, an incredible friend.

We extend our condolences to his wife, Gerry, his family, and all of his friends who have been hit with this terrible news. There will not be a single day that passes without us missing you terribly, Jim.

Richard began his writing journey as a freelance writer in 1984 and gained his first fiction credit serving as the lead writer for the first two issues of the Elite Comics sci-fi/fantasy series, Seadragon. His 20-year sports writing career was highlighted by the 2001 California Newspaper Publishers Association award for Best Sports Story.

After founding Tuscany Bay Publishing in 2007, Richard retired as a sportswriter in 2013 and returned to his fiction writing roots. Since then he has written seven novels, two non-fiction sports books, and has appeared in several anthologies including five Sherlock Holmes collections. He has won several awards and his novel, Escaping Infinity, was a 2017 Dragon Award Finalist for Best Sci-Fi novel.
