About the Author

After decades spent navigating both life and the sea, Ronald Bracken brings his first novel to shore with profound storytelling and a seasoned voice. Where Giants Dare Grow is his debut volume a blend of historical fiction, family folklore, and creative depth inspired by a lifetime of adventures.
Raised with saltwater in his veins and a pen in hand, Ronald was a commercial abalone diver and a custom guitar artisan before retirement (at least in theory). Prompted by his wife’s persistence and handwritten sticky notes, Ronald finally sat down to share the story he carried for years. The result? A bold literary voyage that invites you to feel the salt spray and hear the crack of sails as history unfolds.
