Author Ron Stelle writes with a passion driven by a desire to share his stories and is very, very good at bringing the reader into the world he has created. The characters are vivid; a friend, a neighbor, the boogeyman. Ron also has a unique way of bringing humor into his stories as well, humor that will have you unexpectedly laughing out loud. He has written many novels from coming of age comedy to supernatural thrillers. Ron enjoys playing rock guitar and drums and spending time with his wife and family.

"As corny as that may sound, it is as true today as it was to our parents during their time and their parents during theirs. Who we are when we arrive at the “other side” of growing up depends not only on our parents and family, but the friends we grew up with. We found strength in our friends when times were difficult." No truer words have ever been spoken and yet our youth insist that times are different and that the "older" generation could not possibly ever understand or relate to what it is like to grow up. In Ron P. Stelle's reflections on growing up in the 1960's, there is little difference from what it is to the children of today. Technology has certainly changed the way in which information is presented, but feelings and emotions are the same. "Streets of Our Youth" is fifteen chapters of the daring adventures of a group of friends. It begins with the assassination of President Kennedy - an event that was lost on Bill, Mike, Rob and Dave since the television coverage of this sad historical event in history erased their carefree morning cartoons and adventure shows. Instead, they must search for alternative fun which leads them to daring experimentation and hysterical consequences.
I thoroughly enjoyed sharing the daring adventures and descriptions of times gone by. I have been assisted in my quest for entertaining ideas for my own children. Life used to be so simple. The imagination that we once depended on in creating fun times is sadly missing in reality, but gladly revisited in this moving memoir.
