About the Author Ronald D. Giles holds an undergraduate degree in history from Ohio University and a master's degree in television and film from The Ohio State University. After teaching American history in the Columbus Public School System, he changed his career path to that of television production, working at WBNS-TV in Columbus, WCPO-TV in Cincinnati, QUBE Cable in Columbus and Pittsburgh, WBZ-TV in Boston, Mullin Productions in Los Angeles, and QVC in West Chester, PA, where he created the television format and held the title of Executive Vice-President from 1986 to 1996. In 1997, Mr. Giles began consulting in electronic retailing, working internationally in Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, Australia, South Korea, and China. He has been awarded six regional Emmys for his television production work. Mr. Giles added author to his list of credits with his first book, "On Harrisonville Avenue," an autobiography about growing up in a steel mill town in the 1950's; it was published in 2008. Other works include "Cottonwood Pass," a suspense novel set in contemporary Colorado (2009), "Great Heats," a novel of historic fiction about the prehistoric Mound Builders, set in modern day Ohio (2011); a short story titled "The Prey,"(where a hunter encounters the hellhound) was included in the anthology, "Chester County Fiction" (2011). That short story was repurposed and included in Locusts and Wild Honey, a novel of the supernatural (2013). In 2015, a short story by Mr. Giles, "The Friday Night Dance," was included in a collection of works by Appalachian authors, "Every River on Earth," published by Ohio University Press. In 2018, Mr. Giles was the coordinating editor for a collection of sermons that was published by Church of the Loving Shepherd: "The Collected Sermons of the Reverend Dr. Mark Wayne Bailey." "The Porter Curse," (2020) grew out of "Locusts and Wild Honey" but can be read as a stand-alone work. All of these books are available on-line, at select independent bookstores and at major electronic retailers. rdeangiles@chesco.com.
