RICK FOERSTER

WRITER | BUILDER

Hey, I’m Rick Foerster, a recovering startup executive turned writer. Before, I helped build and grow a company from zero to $2B+. It was the kind of career that’s supposed to fill the void and conquer all life’s questions.

For some reason, it didn’t. So I walked away from that life to disappear and start writing:

An End to Remember: my debut novel (coming soon), a post-apocalyptic survival story with a psychological bite.
The Way of Work: essays on meaning, identity, and reinvention.

Join me and let’s find a way to knock out all the big questions, while somehow remaining the center of attention. It’s the simple things, right?

Cheers, Rick

Praise for Rick’s Writing

My debut novel coming soon:

AN END TO REMEMBER

How do you stay human when the world forgets?

When civilization falls, an orphan lives by one rule: “forget to survive.” Forget his pain. Forget his past. And forget the unforgivable moment he failed the people he loved most.

It’s been several years since the “Wild” spread, an infection that turned people against each other. Now, in a walled-off camp on the outskirts of a ruined city, survivors force him and other orphans outside to scavenge, where they must avoid the mindless and violent former-humans that no one fully understands.

But surviving isn’t the hardest part, it’s finding a reason to keep going.

Memories and madness collide. Panic boils over inside the camp. And the boy must choose between the numbness that kept him alive and confronting the past he buried — one that unravels the truth about the world and the truth about his parents. A truth so sharp it could break him.

In the end, we are what we remember.

Fans of The Last of Us,Wool, and The Road will love this post-apocalyptic survival story that has a dark psychological bite.

And yes, it has an ending you won’t forget.
