About Richard Ouano

Richard Ouano Romance Novel Author of a Kiss in Times SquareMy name is Richard Ouano (pronounced o-juan-o) and I live in Gilbert, Arizona, a suburb just southeast of Phoenix. My debut novel, A Kiss in Times Square, is based on my sixth screenplay of the same name, that I wrote several years ago. This forum also serves as an open invitation to friends, family, as well as people in the ‘industry’, who’ve enjoyed the screenplay, but who are now anxiously awaiting the completion of the novel. They’ll be able to stop by whenever they like to monitor my progress. This definitely puts a real sense of urgency and positive pressure on me-–as I know that my future readership is out there, eagerly awaiting the finished product.
