Ronald Howes is an international advertising consultant, business turnaround specialist and author of the Stones of Visionseries. His historical fantasy novels bring back to life the colourful and enigmatic characters of the ancient past, whose influence and impact still reverberate today. Through his work in the creative industry, Ronald has spent over twenty-five years in the Middle East, where he developed a keen fascination and passion for the region’s rich history and its contribution to advancing human civilisation. Ronald lives and works out of his home in Surrey, UK and is never happier than when he is discovering more of the hidden treasures of Britain, and when his children and grandchildren are around to enjoy the garden that he and his wife have transformed into a true sanctuary of peace and beauty.
