Ron Mooney is a retired high school Spanish and English teacher and a proud U.S. Air Force veteran. This marks his debut novel, a powerful beginning to his journey as an author. With three more stories already in development, Ron is just getting started—making him a writer you'll want to watch closely. He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his 11-year-old Chihuahua mix, Peanut. It's the first storm of the season, one destined to break records, with a specific path and purpose. The last storm of the year will make this one feel like a mere breeze and a gentle sprinkle. A story of courage. A story of loss. A story of new connections. A story of nature's fury and unstoppable power. Find your safe place before you dive in—this is one storm you'll feel.
