Ronald has degrees in Ancient History, and Theology; as well as a Ph.D. in Ancient Near Eastern Studies. He is a fan of Star Wars, Star Trek, Dune, Battlestar Galactica, and Fringe; as well as a reader of Heroic Fantasy from the likes of David Gemmell, David Eddings, and Raymond E. Feist.

 

He has been a Guest Lecturer in Trinity College, Dublin; and has taught Creative Writing to unwilling adults. He is currently the Project Manager on an English language learning website, and our Chief Editor here at Temple Dark Books.

 

Ronald lives with his wife, two daughters, and his Shichon, Monty, in Ireland, and has been writing since the universe began.

 

In Kiranis, Ronald builds a universe and populates it with characters - human and alien - of familiar proclivities and relatable ambitions. Of both darkness and light he writes, blurring the gray areas of morality amidst an unfolding chaos of universal proportions. The Kiranis series is big and bold, with underlying philosophies and dark insights intricately woven into an epic Space Opera. Merging Science Fiction tropes with Fantasy staples, Ronald weaves an epic story that redefines and reinvigorates both genres.
