Born and raised in Chicago, as a child Ron Chandler escaped a dysfunctional home life by seeking sanctuary in the pages of books.
A love of reading became a love of writing, and after a colorful life of more than six decades, he has many stories to tell.
Ron has no literary degree from a prestigious university. No National Book Awards or Booker Prizes to boast about. Just stories influenced by life experiences (and a vivid imagination) that he hopes you will enjoy.
A member of the Authors Guild, he now splits his time between San Francisco and Panama City, Panama, along with his wife Erica and their cats.
"I don't write to become a literary force, or to win awards, or for fame and fortune. I write for the enjoyment of the process. The sheer joy of crafting that chapter, or paragraph, or single line until it's just right and I can sit back and say, 'Damn, that's good,' and hope my readers will agree."
