Biography

Who is Marinick Richard?

American author of crime thrillers, Marinick is an ex-convict, a former member of a notoriously brutal organized crime gang in New England. In 1986, Marinick, with a lengthy criminal record, was sentenced to two consecutive terms for two separate masked armed robberies of armored cars. Within the first three months of his incarceration, he says he had a spiritual awakening and vowed to change his life. He entered therapy, began taking college-level courses, and re-connected with his boyhood dream of writing. While in jail, he graduated from Boston University magna cum laude and earned his master’s in children’s literature, summa cum laude. He was released in 1996, and eight years later, in 2004, his hard-boiled novel, “Boyos” was published. As a child, he was a young tough, getting into gang fights. After graduation from high school, he landed a job as a bouncer for a strip club in a tough Boston neighborhood. He married in 1976, and a year later left for Okinawa where he earned his black belt in karate. Upon his return to the United States, he entered the State Police Academy, graduating near the top of his class. By July 1978, he was a State trooper but became disillusioned with the low pay and stressful demands of the job. Quitting police work, he drifted and began using cocaine. It was a short step into the life of a gangster. From petty crime, he graduated to beating up mob victims, hijacking trucks, robbing banks and ultimately to the armored car holdups that led to his incarceration. His wife left him in 1982 and his cocaine habit worsened. He entered a detox program in 1984 and tried to get a legitimate job. But with no skills, crime was attractive. Despite leading what he calls an “insane life,” he clung to his childhood dream of becoming a writer and would continue to jot down children’s stories and ideas for adult books. In 2003 he married an old friend with whom he had reconnected. His first novel was published a year later.

Marinick Richard birth chart analysis for Ascendant

In Vedic astrology, the natal lagna (ascendant) in Virgo sign suggests a personality that is analytical, detail-oriented, and practical. Virgo ascendants are often meticulous in their approach to life, valuing precision and efficiency. They tend to be health-conscious, and their discerning nature makes them excellent problem-solvers. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which enhances their communication skills and intellectual capabilities. When the ascendant falls in Hasta nakshatra, it adds an element of creativity and dexterity to the Virgo traits. Hasta nakshatra is symbolized by an open hand, representing skill, craftsmanship, and the ability to manifest one's thoughts into reality. Individuals with this placement are usually resourceful, adaptable, and possess a good sense of humor. They may excel in professions that require manual dexterity or creativity. With the lagna lord Mercury placed in the 6th house in Aquarius sign, there is an emphasis on service, health, and daily routines. The 6th house is associated with work, competition, and obstacles, and Mercury's placement here suggests that the individual may thrive in environments where attention to detail and analytical skills are required. Aquarius, being an air sign ruled by Saturn, adds a layer of innovation and a progressive outlook. This placement can indicate a strong interest in technology or humanitarian pursuits. Mercury's position in Satabhisaj nakshatra, known as the "100 healers," further underscores the potential for healing or medical professions. Satabhisaj is ruled by Rahu, which can bring unconventional thinking and a desire to break from tradition. This nakshatra is associated with mysticism and healing, suggesting a potential interest in alternative medicine or holistic practices. Overall, this astrological configuration points to an individual with a unique blend of analytical prowess, creativity, and a service-oriented mindset. They are likely to excel in fields that require a combination of technical skill and innovative thinking, with a potential inclination towards healing or helping professions.
