Donegal Bay Publishing Author And Authors Guild Member Ron Godby's Bio:

"Growing up in Appalachia, I learned to respect my environment as well as the people in my life. That philosophy helped me to succeed in my time serving with the United States Marine Corps. I built on those experiences to graduate at the top of my class from the Chicago Metro Police Academy and to make a good life for me, my wife, and our three kids, as I continue in my seventeen year career in law enforcement. We currently live in the beautiful town of Mount Prospect, Illinois.

I began writing when I was in High School. My brothers Don and Scott, along with our two friends, author Mark Daniels and screenwriter Lee Anthony Smith, formed a dedicated group in pursuit of the arts.  I ended up becoming an accomplished photographer as well and had the honor of photographing Wrigley Field for the first night game.

I became serious about writing when I was digging through old treasures and discovered some notes I had jotted down while snowbound during a training exercise in South Korea. The result was my first published work, The Mongoose Mission and my new work, The Mongoose in the Sand."
