Ronnie Briggs, writing under the pen name Rwilliam Briggs, was born in the piney woods of Northeast Texas, where the lessons of his father shaped him profoundly. Growing up with a dad who encouraged his curiosity, taught him music, and nurtured his hands-on skills, Ronnie developed a love for guitar, piano, and craftsmanship—a love he now shares with his son, Bobo.

After graduating in 1991, Ronnie traveled the world, exploring the far corners of the Earth, yet always felt the pull of home. In 2009, he returned to Northeast Texas, purchasing the property he had long dreamed of owning. There, he began chronicling his adventures and reflections in the Southern Gothic Chronicles of Honeygrove, the LA Gothic Chronicles, and numerous other works, creating a legacy meant to inspire and empower his son.

Ronnie is the vocalist and guitarist for the band Southpaw Dogden and a skilled craftsman. He owns over 100 guitars, five or six of which he built from scratch, and finds great joy in curating and building instruments. He is also a Redline Hot Wheels restoration expert, having spent many years learning the craft under the mentorship of highly respected collectors, and he maintains a collection of over a thousand Hot Wheels, most of them customized by his own hand. In addition, he collaborates with his mother, Sue Karr Briggs, as the illustrator for her children’s books, including chronicles of the ranch where she grew up with her father.

Above all, Ronnie’s greatest joy is being a father—honoring the lessons of his own upbringing by nurturing, teaching, and sharing life’s skills and passions with his son, carrying forward a legacy of love, curiosity, and craftsmanship.
