Sometimes in life we find a calling we are compelled to answer. Ron Stelle found out, through gentle persuasion by his wife, that writing was what he was meant to do. After turning on the faucet with his first novel about growing up in the sixties, the faucet has become a major waterfall. Ron writes with a passion driven by a desire to share his stories and is very, very good at bringing the reader into the world he has created. The characters are vivid and likable, well most of them anyway. Ron also has a unique way of bringing humor into his stories as well, humor that will have you laughing out loud, despite the fact that you might be on a plane while others are sleeping. He has written six novels from coming of age comedy to supernatural thrillers. His latest work, Xtreme Options, is a fast paced Detective Murder Mystery that throws the Irish pair of Bryce Mallory and Shamus Crawley into a whirlwind of excitement as they match wits with the High Stakes Killer, who gives his victims a chance to walk away if they win the bet. Ron enjoys playing rock guitar and drums, spending time with his wife Sandy and his children and grandchild and motivating others to follow their dreams.
