Ron Perdue, (1950) born in Lithonia, Georgia, I went to elementary school at Lithonia Elementary and high school at Bartow Summerline Institute in Bartow, Florida. I am a retired Florida law enforcement officer and I served four missions overseas as an international police advisor for The D.O.D., in Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan. I started writing poetry in 1982 and I have written and published four books. I use my life experiences as a foundation for all my books and I add as much fact as I do fiction. I believe that todays fiction is tomorrows facts.
