Ronald Kelly (born November 20, 1959) is best known as a speculative fiction and "southern-fried" horror writer.

His tales are usually set in the Southern United States and feature language and actions that are associated with those regions.

Ronald Kelly was born November 20, 1959, in Nashville, Tennessee and grew up in the small rural town of Pegram, Tennessee.

He attended Pegram Elementary School in Pegram, Tennessee and Cheatham County Central High School in Ashland City, Tennessee before starting his writing career.

He currently lives in the rural farming community of Brush Creek, Tennessee with his wife, three children, and a Jack Russel terrier named Toby.

Ronald Kelly originally had aspirations of becoming a comic book artist and spent most of his high school years writing and drawing his own comic books featuring his own superheroes and characters.

He also collaborated with classmate Lowell Cunningham, who later became the creator of the Men In Black comic book series, which spawned several major motion pictures.

Kelly began writing fiction during his junior year in high school, concentrating on horror, suspense, and male adventure.

When Zebra dropped their horror line in October 1996, Ronald Kelly stopped writing for almost ten years and worked various jobs including welder, factory worker, production manager, drugstore manager, and custodian.
