My wife has read a few of my less intense books in the past, but she’s more of an Amish Romance fan than the blood and gore type. The folks I grew up with, those I live around now and work with, they know that I’m a writer and know the kind of genre I write in, but they don’t make a big deal about it… and neither do I. Ronald Kelly: Well, to tell the truth, they don’t. Meghan: How do you feel about friends and close relatives reading your work? And I’m a devout Christian – the proverbial Southern Baptist – which seems downright odd, considering the sort of stuff I write. I work in the quality department for PPG one of the biggest paint companies on the globe. I’m a faithful husband (going on 29 years now) and papa to three wonderful young’uns. Ronald Kelly: I reckon you could say that I wear a lot of hats outside of the horror genre. More Sick Stuff is sort of like the bigger, nastier sibling of the original Sick Stuff. Thunderstorm put out a hardcover edition of More Sick Stuff a few months ago, the follow-up to my extreme horror collection, The Sick Stuff. I’ve been working with various publishers, mostly Thunderstorm Books, Sinister Grin Press, and Crossroad Press. I finally finished my Southern-fried zombie novel, The Buzzard Zone, after a long bout of writer’s block. Ronald Kelly: I’ve been busy with one writing project or another. What’s been going on since we last spoke? It’s been awhile since we sat down together. Meghan: Hi, Ronald! Welcome back! And welcome to our new home, Meghan’s House of Books.
