Ron Washburn(II)

Ron Washburn grew up in the wild lands of the Jornada del Muerto in southern New Mexico. He raised horses, tended his windmill, and ran his ranch until he graduated from New Mexico State University (1997), where he also worked until his retirement from Space Management. He's been writing since he was old enough to read. In addition to writing, he has also done some acting. He's been in a handful of short films and plays, including acting as Buffalo Bill Cody in Mark Medoff's production of Annie Get Your Gun (2014). He has since retired from ranching as well, trading in his stirrups for Harley-Davidson motorcycle foot pegs. He now writes full time. His stories range from westerns to science fiction and fantasy, but there's a twist. Each book is only a small slice of the larger story he's writing that encompasses all of them. They are all related in a mult-genre odyssey. Each book is a separate and complete story, so it is possible to pick one up and read it as a stand-alone. However, if you read more than one in his collection, which he calls his "Alternate Universe" series, you will begin to see how they are connected. Beware, this extended and growing series is extremely complicated in its entirety. He calls it "Literary convolution." His most successful book to date is A Reckoning in Goldenburg, which he as adapted for screen.
