Ronald Cree was raised in Greenhills, Ohio, and attended the University of Colorado, where he studied television production and mass media
communications.

Following college, he spent three years as an unpaid volunteer, working with the rural residents of Appalachia, the homeless in Chicago, and orphaned boys in Canada.  In 1989, he moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he spent an additional year and a half teaching and mentoring Latino youth in West Oakland.

He was employed for six years by the Oakland Athletics Baseball Company and three years with Sega of America.  He also worked as a bookseller for two
years, and his relationships with bookstores and sellers remain strong to this day.

In 1993, Ronald adopted a thirteen-year-old Mexican boy and raised him as a single father. They continue to share a home in Oakland.

Ronald began writing Desert Blood 10PM/9C as a class project taught by Anthony and Agatha
Award-winning author
Rhys Bowen.  Drawing on his relationship with his adopted son, as well as his close friendships with several popular Hollywood actors, Ronald crafted a unique first mystery involving highly successful Latinos in the entertainment industry.

Since 2001, Ronald has created and worked on websites for several popular Hollywood actors, including Nicholas González (“The OC”, “Law & Order: SVU”, “Resurrection Blvd”), Eva Longoria (“Desperate Housewives”, “LA Dragnet”), and Nathan Marlow (CBS’s “Big Brother 4”, “Yes, Dear”), among others.

Today, Ronald works as a web designer for the Clorox Company in Oakland.

He is an active member of both the Mystery Writers of America and the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and maintains a website of his own at www.ronaldcree.com
