D.E. Ring

D.E. Ring grew up in small towns, where characters still tell their stories with context everyone understands. Creating that depth of context over a series of novels – that’s the goal of the Urquhart and MacDonald Murder Mystery series. The first books in the series, Death of the Limping Man, Death in the Offing, Death of the Dancing Doll, and Death in Secret were published in 2023 and 2024, with the fifth, Death be Proud, coming out in late 2024.

His second series of books, The Scandalous Memoirs of General John Torrance, starts with Jack the Lad, published in 2023 and Modesty Jack (2024). The third volume, One-Eyed Jack is scheduled for release in late 2024. It's an historical adventure series about the birth of our modern world, with its comedy, desperation, tragedy, and all-too-human predictability.

Modesty Jack was awarded the Literary Titan Book Award in July of 2024.

D.E. has built a successful business, and learned from three daughters what struggle, joy, triumph, and even death truly mean.

Writing for a local paper demanded discipline and understanding the reader. Becoming a successful professional playwright brought rhythm to the words and a way with deft characterization. Business writing demanded research, brevity, and exciting copy for a global market.

With a degree in English from Western University, D.E. is a full member of Crime Writers of Canada and Playwrights Guild of Canada. He is also a member of Equity, the actors' union. Having been a professional actor and director gives him handy skills when it comes to narrating his own audiobooks.
