The Essential Ronald Kelly Collection

[bsaenz24]

My copies of UM and Fear are here!! What beautiful books and I was lucky enough to get them remarqued by Ron himself!! The remarques were fantastic!! I think Ron should do a limited edition someday that he illustrates himself. Too much talent in one guy!!

I'm waiting on my copies inscribed to me with remarques by Ron, also. Never seen a piece of his before, but I jumped at the chance to have him remarque them. Maybe you could post a shot of your remarques!

My copies of UM and Fear just arrived... and they look bloody great!

Thunderstorm do a superb job and I'm glad I'm a member. Having the full collection of this Supercell line will look fantastic on my bookshelf... and the best part will be horror between the pages.

My copies of Undertakers Moon and Fear arrived today. Very pleased indeed!

[sweeper4football]

I just wanted to ask you about your essential series by Thunderstorm books, will Pitfall, Blood Kin and Father's Little Helper be in the eight books selected?

Jason.

[Ronald Kelly]

Yes, Jason, all three of those books will be part of the eight volume Essentials. I'm really looking forward to writing the bonus novellas that go with them.

BTW, Undertaker's Moon is now available as an e-book at Crossroad Press, Amazon Kindle, and Barnes & Noble Nook.

Still not as good as holding that lavish tome that Thunderstorm is offering, though. Still copies left at TB, if you want one...

Thanks for the remarques, Ron, they're great! You seemed surprised when I told you that I had seen a remarque you did for ATB; I hope you don't mind your drawings being posted...because I posted the two you made for me...

Don't let me prevent you from finishing AD&BG!

Seems like I'm busy preventing myself from finishing AD&BG lately, Squire. Part of it was due to my hernia recovery, which slowed me down a bit with several projects, while part of it has to do with remarquing and shipping copies of UM and Fear for family and friends (which I want to do, honestly). There's also the matter of coming to a point in the novel where a particular scene has reached a crucial point and, frankly, it's just not working to my satisfaction. Just something every writer has to work out for himself sooner or later (wish it was sooner, than later). Plus, I'm getting the next volume of the Essentials -- The Dark'Un -- edited and polished, and the new novella written, which is slowing me down as well. So, you see, I've got many irons in the fire... hopefully all of them hot.

Sounds like it's an exciting time for Ronald Kelly and his fans! Keep up the great work.

Oh I'm sure they're all hot Ron! Keep up the great work!

As a reader and fan, I want you to be satisfied with what you're giving us.
In other words, take whatever time you need to finish the stories the way you want them to be.
Yes, you probably have deadlines and meeting them is part of the whole thing...but I don't want to read factory output, I want to read Ronald Kelly stories!

Keep up the great work!

Well said!! I agree with Ant.

What he said!

[Ronald Kelly]

I sincerely appreciate your votes of confidence, gentleman. True, I've been spreading myself a little thin lately, trying to write, work a full-time job plus overtime, and raising three rambunctious young'uns all at the same time. If I were at home 24/7, writing for a living like many of today's successful horror authors, things would be much more simple and productive... and less stressful. But right now, I'm playing the role of a juggler and sometimes it seems nearly impossible to keep all the balls in the air at one time.

Rest assured, I'm giving it my best. When I write a story or novel, I put myself in your shoes and write it the way I would like to read and enjoy it for the first time. If I ever disappoint you, please don't hesitate to email Ol' Ron and rake my butt over the coals.
