Five Things to Know
about Author Ronald Gordon
When did
you know that you were destined to be a writer? At age five, I
used to write stories about my day at school. The kids that were nice to me, I
would make them heroes and the bad kids would be villains that we kicked out
the school. I used to write about everything happening around me. My mother had
a few psychic friends that would say I was born a writer and one day would
become a famous writer. So, I guess you could say I've been writing as far back
as I can remember.
When did you finish
your first book and what’s the title? The Price of
Life was completed 1980 but never published. A Daughter's Rage was completed in April 2014.
What is
your favorite color? I like white because it's clean and
pure. I'm kind of a clean freak. When thinking about furniture and decor,
especially bedding, I like white. When it comes to clothing, I prefer darker
colors, especially suits.
Do you
write full-time or do you have another profession? Depression knocked me out of work in 2005. In the height of my depression
in 2006, I was inspired by a Facebook friend to pick my pen back up. I did just
that a week or so after that conversation. Doing that broke the seal on a
buried passion. In writing, I found solace and peace of mind, while being
physically and mentally abused by depression. I haven't looked back since, and
can't imagine not writing.
What was the best
advice you have received as a writer? I once told the late Maya Angelou I wanted to be a writer and what
I was saying was that I wanted to be a published writer. She told me,
"Then write baby and remember the passion you put in will come out."'
