Ron Gibson, Jr.

He is no ordinary writer. He is made up of and controlled by a series of shattered machinery helmed by insecurities that come together to form the R.O.N. (Relatively Ordinary Nuisance) ™ Mattel. Together, these insecurities fight the forces of evil in the universe by cowering and sending tear-stained, strongly-worded letters to the offending parties. You can follow their misadventures at @sirabsurd on the Twitter wires.

Ron’s major loves are: the Pacific Northwest, music, art, nature, pro wrestling & a woman’s smile. Some of the finer magazines have given his words good homes, such as: Midwestern Gothic, Luna Luna Magazine, Lost Balloon, (b)Oink Magazine, Rabble Lit, Stockholm Review of Literature, Cheap Pop, New South Journal, L’Ephemere Review, Identity Theory, Occulum, Real Story UK, Whiskeypaper, etc.

Selected Works: “Birthright”, “Around the Bend”, “The Fisherboy”, “Death and Life in the City of N”, “Second Goodbye”
