About

Richard Eaves is an author whose career spans 50-plus years. During that time, he has published more than 700 children's books that are still being used by schools and educational systems around the world.

More recently, Mr. Eaves has focused on historical fiction with a series of novels set during the Cold War. His latest book (published in 2026), A RAINY DAY IN DALLAS, re-imagines the Kennedy assassination and what might have happened if JFK had survived.

Another new novel, published in 2025, is titled INSANITY: The Jack Ruby Trial. This book answers the lingering question, "Why did Jack Ruby shoot Lee Harvey Oswald?" And did that discovery lead to the death of journalist Dorothy Kilgallen?

A second new novel published by Mr. Eaves in 2025 is UNBREAKABLE: The Venona Project and the Rosenberg Case. It's a gripping spy story about the linguist who broke the Russian spy codes that sent Julius and Ethel Rosenberg to the electric chair.

In 2024, Mr. Eaves ventured into science-fiction with EVE & STEVEN: The Experiment, about an alien-human hybrid who has to produce an offspring with the evil grandson of Charles Manson in an effort to breed evil out of mankind.

Earlier this decade, Mr. Eaves co-wrote four novels with fellow author Mark Pittman. They are: The Girl Who Shot JFK; The Girl Who Came Calling; The Girl With Something to Hide.

Mr. Eaves, who now lives in Houston, grew up in Dallas and was an eye-witness to the Kennedy assassination in Dealey Plaza in 1963. His spy novels use that event as the backdrop for the amazing stories that have spun from it.
