Ron Reed Smith seems to be a 1974 Galena High (Kansas) grad who enjoys fictionalizing Galena people and places. Amen to him.

After writing technical documents and monthly reports during a 38-year career in the aerospace industry, Ron Reed Smith retired and found time to do the type of writing he enjoys the most. He is an award-winning writer of short stories and novella-length manuscripts, using a style that is considered wholesome and down-to-earth. He prefers to interject a bit of humor, when it's appropriate, and will create a surprise ending when the story's plot allows for it. His most recent work has included a cozy mystery (Aunt Bev's Ghost) and a historical fiction piece that features people and events from his own hometown (Staffleback Gold).

Mr. Smith is a member of the Ozarks Writers' League and has served as president of the Joplin Writers' Guild.

Currently a resident of Southwest Missouri, Mr. Smith also enjoys gardening and playing golf.
