The Essential Ronald Kelly Collection

[Ben Staad]

That would be great... but unfortunately I don't think Paul has any plans to make a slipcase for the Essentials. It would be massive!

That's a good thing! The more the merrier.

[bsaenz24]

I am willing to accept two four volume slipcases!!

I have mine on the way.
I am hoping Paul makes a slipcase or something to hold all 8 books in the series because the spines of the books forms a picture.

... If I ever disappoint you, please don't hesitate to email Ol' Ron and rake my butt over the coals.

Yes, but if we did that, how would you sit to write more books for us????

[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.

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!

What he said!

Well said!! I agree with Ant.

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

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.

[Ronald Kelly]

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!

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

[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.
