Ron Rayborne, who lives on the beautiful central coast of California, is an avid hiker, animal lover and dreamer. His first "official" writing, an essay called The Sacred Secret, detailing one particularly memorable such trek, won first place in his college creative writing contest and inclusion in its publication, Word Of Mouth. A romantic at heart, Ron often imagines the what it would have been like to live in a pristine prehistoric world. To that end he researched and wrote Opalescence.
