Professional Bio

A Colombian native, Dick Jordan, first stepped onto a soundstage at age four to
accompany his comedic actor father. By his teens Jordan was writing screenplays, filming 16mm
shorts and winning awards for poetry and short stories.
The mid 80’s took him to San Francisco amidst the AIDS crisis. The experience (along
with the tremors and earthquakes) shook him profoundly. He began to see the importance of
media as the death toll rose and the news stopped covering it.
Back home in Miami, as a long-time survivor of AIDS, he has been an outspoken activist.
Lazarus Rises is his first novel released to an audience, and he hopes it makes people both laugh
and cry. He lives and writes in North Miami and watches big iguanas sunbathe in his back yard.
