Ronald S. Barak

Ronald S. Barak is a thriller, suspense and mystery author, lawyer and Olympic athlete. This makes him uniquely qualified to write legal and political thrillers in the “Brooks / Lotello” series. He loves to describe himself as a full time, long time lawyer specializing in mediation, litigation, arbitration, business, and real estate transactions. While he is a lawyer, he loves to write novels at the intersection between fiction and reality. He has said that he loves to write as writing makes him think, grow and become the best person that he could be. Barak has said that he writes for readers that want to be entertained by reading a good story, while getting the encouragement to think and grow a little. He believes that many books emphasize one or the other though he believes they should coexist and this is his objective in the novels he writes. Ronald is married to Barbie who he affectionately refers to as Goose, with whom he has two children Mark and Jennifer. Since their children long moved out of the house, they live with their Havenese dog and their British Short Hair cat in Pacific Palisades, California.
