Ronald Reginald King

Ronald was born and raised in Asheville, NC. He is a retired Battalion Chief after 27 years with the City of Asheville N.C Fire/Rescue Department. His loyalty to his profession was demonstrated many times over by serving on and sometimes chairing Boards, Committees and Teams on the local, state and regional level.

Ronald is presently promoting his first poetry book “INSIDE OUT (SEE ME)” that has been ranked as a must have piece of work among the many who has read it! He has received various distinguished awards for his poetry. He has been published in Who's Who in Poetry, best Poems and Poet of 2002, 2004, and 2007, chosen to be a Poetry Ambassador in 2007.

His second poetry book “READ ME “ will be in stores the fall of 2008 followed by his first novel “HIS BACHELOR PARTY”.

Ronald is also preparing to take his play “LOVE IS LIFE” on a national tour.

What motivated Ronald to become a writer begins with his ability to tell tales in a way that would hold his listening audience attention when he was a very young man. When he decided to prepare for life after his professional career he felt that writing expressions for the world to read was the only natural course to take.

Ronald is a proud father of three wonderful children, one son and two daughters. He is very family oriented. He believes that closeness in any relationship derives from a genuine love for God, self and mankind.
