Born in 1952 in Chicago, RONALD SCHULZ ran away to New Orleans at 15 to explore the 1960s Counterculture, living and loving in communes and radical collectives. These stories are the subjects of his series of wild, unblushing memoirs, along with his saga of hitchhiking across Europe and Africa on a roundabout Buddhist pilgrimage to Nepal. Ronald is a father of two and grandfather of three, who believes in living life to the fullest, regardless of circumstances—now living in Seattle. He took advanced writing classes at the University of Washington and Hugo House. His books are entitled: CHICAGO RAGE, HOME AT THE EDGE, PARTY AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW, and TEENAGE RUNAWAY will be out soon.
