Ronald Hudkins is the creator of the Roadstand Hollow cozy fantasy series, where enchanted villages, mysterious roads, forgotten magic, and unforgettable characters come together in stories of wonder, courage, and hope.

Rather than simply telling stories, Ronald invites readers into a living world. Through the Roadstand Hollow novels, journals, and companion tales, readers can explore places like Wishkeeper's Corner, meet memorable characters such as Elias and Miriam, and discover new adventures that continue to unfold beyond the pages of each book.

People often ask me where Roadstand Hollow is.

I usually smile before answering.

Because the truth is...I'm not entirely sure.

I know how to get there.

Every Thursday, I find myself sitting at a corner table in Wishkeeper's Corner. Elias is usually waiting with a pot of tea. Miriam arrives a few minutes later carrying another mystery that insists on being solved.

They tell me what happened.

I write it down.

Some writers create worlds.

I've never felt that was my job.

I simply visit one.

Roadstand Hollow isn't a place you'll find on any map, yet after spending enough time there, its streets become familiar. I know where Hannah's Bakery opens before sunrise. I know which road disappears into the fog. I know when the lanterns are lit and why some doors are never opened after dark.

The people there have become friends.

The mysteries have become memories.

If my books feel real, perhaps it's because, in many ways, they are.

At least to me. “The funny thing about Roadstand Hollow is that no one ever really goes looking for it. The fog simply decides when it's time for you to find the road.”

So, if you ever find yourself wandering into Roadstand Hollow, pull up a chair at Wishkeeper's Corner.

We'll save you a cup of tea.
