Something About Me and My Book:
Let there be no doubt about it, Ron Adams loves a good story. As a child growing up around an extended family, he learned to appreciate the stories told by his great grandfather of “the old days” in Boston, of the family histories related by his grandparents. The family genealogy was brought to life by his aunt. And then there was the odd assortment of characters that always seemed to be around his parents home. Priests, cops, bar owners, bikers, Marines, cross country hitchhiking cousins, and even international animal rescue workers all provided their own unique stories, and a base for his imagination. From his great grandfather, he also developed a love of reading, which became a lifelong desire to become a writer.

Ron has taken this varied background and written poetry for his college yearbook, and has published articles based on his experiences in his ‘day job’ as a physical therapist. Based on a lifetime of colorful individuals and a love of the mystery and crime fiction genre, he published his first novel, Lake Effect, in 2003. He is active in several online writing communities, including the Western New York Writers group and Thriller Authors group on bookmarket.ning.com, and the Authors Lounge group on Bebo.com.

Born and raised in Massachussetts, Ron Adams graduated from Daemen College in Amherst, New York in 1983. He has called Buffalo and the western New York area home for over twenty years. Currently he lives in Hamburg, New York with his wife, Trish, and two children.

In Key Lime Squeeze, mob princess Angela Cantolino-Boothby wants her runaway husband back. So do her brothers, the kingpins of the Cantolino crime family, as well as a host of dubious characters. Buffalo P.I. Joe Banks heads to the Florida Keys to find Robert Boothby, and soon learns that all these people aren’t just missing Robert’s charming personality. Will Banks get caught in the squeeze?

    Hi Ron,
    Thanks for your e-mail. I ma so happy you likes the novel. I think it really says a lot about the world we live in today. Your opinion is very valued.

    I am reading your book and love it too. Love the cover on your novel! I was in Nikki Leigh's book tour all of February and had to slow down on my own writing and reading. But, I am back to it and promise to reciprocate and write your review. Hope you do not mind waiting a bit longer. I am excited to have your review. I have pasted two links for both Amazon and Barnes and Noble below where you can post it and if you could send me a copy on my e-mail and I'll post it on my blogs too. I would like to feature your book on my blogs also. I am getting some good traffic at my blogs and could be good for you. I'll be back to you with a review of your book too very soon. Thanks!

    It's official, this old dog has learned a thing or two. I wanted to let you know that I have launched my first official website. I will be posting information about new and current books, events, links to some fairly cool websites, and taking comments and questions from friends and fans (hopefully fans, anyway). Please take a look and let me know what you think.
