Ron Smith - Author
Ron Smith is a native Texan who loves a great story. After retiring from a lengthy career in corporate Real Estate, he set out to fulfill his dream of becoming a published author. His first effort, No One Is Perfect: The True Story of Candace Mossler and America’s Strangest Murder Trial was well received and has drawn interest from the film community.
Drawing from his affinity for Colorado, and ten years as a resident of Cripple Creek, he has created the Cripple Creek Mysteries, a fictional action/adventure series set in the mining district of Teller County. Each story reveals some of the history of the area, while introducing colorful characters and fascinating storylines. Readers of these books will feel as if they have just returned from an exhilarating visit to the Rockies.
