Five-Star Praise for "Reichold Street":
  • Masterfully written, "Reichold Street" is the story of a group of friends and neighbors struggling to overcome personal challenges and deal with the losses brought about by mental illness, war and coming-of-age in a turbulent time. Their shared story is presented from the perspective of several compelling characters, giving the book a unique depth and dimension. Highly recommended!
  • "Reichold Street" presents a great coming-of-age story, told from the viewpoint of many characters. That choice of narrative gives it an interesting perspective as it talks of coming-of-age, depression, mental illness, criminal activity and redemption within a small group of young people and their families as they grow up in the turbulent times of the late 1960s. An interesting, well-written story. You'll wish there was more when you're finished, because you'll want to keep on reading.

The Writing of Ronald L. Herron:

"Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass."  ~ Anton Chekhov

You must not bore readers with the fact it's raining; you have to make them feel the rain. You cannot merely tell them the moon is shining; you have to make them see that glint of light. Chekov's quote (above) may be the single greatest piece of advice for any creative writer: Show, don't tell.  The ultimate test of a storytelling effort is in the mind of the reader. The most satisfying story comments I receive all include something similar to the phrase: "So, what happens next?" That eagerness to know more means I'm headed in the right direction.
