Ron Nichols

A marketing communications practitioner, author and inspirational speaker, Ron Nichols loves the art and craft of storytelling--in all of his endeavors. With each new novel Nichols has honed his craft, imbuing his characters with a near-cinematic authenticity that ring true for both young readers and adults.

In his latest novel, "C.J. Brown's Diamonds in the Rough," Nichols has created a taut adventure tail that's captivating, full of wise canines, nefarious geologists, and good-natured gas jockeys--all with the sights, sounds and smells of small-town America jumping from the book's pages.

He's currently seeking a publisher for his heartfelt illustrated children's book, "Alex's Garden," and continues to write, speak and inspire through his stories. He faithfully waits by the phone, hoping to hear those coveted words from Oprah--"I love your books." (Oh yes, Nichols is also a hopeless optimist.)

"Ron Nichols is fast becoming one of the premier authors of fiction for young readers." -Jon Chandler, three-time Western Writers Silver Spur Award Winner.
