Ronald Haines finds the study of history and historical people fascinating. He believes that people are really no different now than they were even thousands of years ago in terms of their motivations, desires, prejudices and biases. Ronald's Historical Fiction novels are well researched for historical fact, and through his characters readers will be put inside the heads of the people who there, living it.

Ronald is an existential humanist: goal directed, self-motivated, and a big believer in individual freedom and its requisite companion, personal responsibility. You’ll find these traits expressed throughout his works.

Ronald genuinely enjoys the process of writing and can be totally immersed in whatever world he is creating for hours at a time. But when not at his desk writing, you’ll find him sailing, gardening, hiking through the woods, or walking along a beach.
