Rik started his working life pulling pints for the local chapter of Hell's Angels, building steeplechase jumps at Cheltenham racecourse and failing miserably to sell insurance. Intending a career producing fantasy artwork for book covers, he then went to Art College and left with a First in Fine Art and an O-level in computer science. The O-level proved the more valuable and he has spent too many years working as a programmer. When not working he is easily distracted from writing by walking, drawing and photography (some of which can be found at www.gammack.co.uk). He has had several short stories and one novel of erotica published, mostly under the pseudonym of Susan Tinoff, but hopes one day to produce something worth putting his own name to. Currently he is working on a fantasy novel involving circuses, hot air balloons and licentious burlesque. He is Treasurer and Membership Secretary of Cambridge Writers.

He has his story "Cheddar Gorging" in Issue 1 of Walden Writers.
