Ron Koertge's Geeks Bearing Gifts

In his writing Ron makes his characters easy to relate to, for almost everybody. When someone is reading it they can relate to at least one of the characters in one way or another. He also knows his audience and knows that many high school students have to read short stories. I could use this in my writing to make it more familiar.

When he writes he tells it like it is. He puts himself in his characters shoes and tells it how he sees it from their perspective. He does not add "fluff" to the short story to make it easier to face the truth. He writes it how it is and adds nothing to cution the "blow."
