About the author

When Cincinnati resident, Ron Houston, first entertained the notion of writing he was a mixologist in one of the city’s most notable nightclubs. “There I was standing behind the bar. At a point when every customer had been served, I developed an observing eye. I saw what was really going on in the club and started to really hear the conversations. I thought, somebody ought to write a book about this stuff. After a few moments more, a light came on in my head and I then realized, ‘Why don’t I write it?’ (oh, did I mention I’m kinda slow?). I studied writing technique for three years then produced my first collection of short stories, Tales From the Satellite.”

In one month it became a local bestseller. Next, he wrote the shock novel, The Devastation of Mr. Drake, and gained strong book club support.

“I truly appreciate all the support I’ve gotten from my readers; these are strange stories. I realize my writing is not for everyone, but I’m pleasantly surprised at the number of fans I’ve reached.”

Educated in Organic Chemistry, Ron is now retired as a chemical operations technician. He’s a licensed and TAM certified mixologist, specializing in the art of “social chemistry.” As owner of GorillaWorks Limited, he assists others in reaching their writing goals.

As an experienced radio talk show guest, Ron Houston has been heard frequently on 1230 the Buzz of Cincinnati, 1480 WCIN and 1230 KCOH in Houston, Texas. He’s an articulate, humorous media guest and is known locally as, ‘The Mixologist.’
