ⓘ About Richard Aleas

Richard Aleas denotes the name of an American penman whose birth name is Charles Ardai. In the run-up to choosing the said penman, Aleas considered tens of other potential pseudonyms among them Richard Darias and Richard A. Sale. Incidentally, the said names are anagrams. The penname Aleas—a homonym of alias—was hewed from his first name Charles. Even then Aleas has several books published under his legal name. Richard Aleas is an entrepreneur and founded Juno Online Services, a company that provides Internet services. Aleas’ other professions include writing, editing, publishing, and producing TV shows. Aleas’ most notable brainchild is the Hard Case Crime series which he not only edits but also contributes to.
