Ronald L. Smith is an American children's book author. He is the author of Hoodoo (2015), The Mesmerist (2017), and Black Panther: The Young Prince (2018). For Hoodoo, Smith won the American Library Association's Coretta Scott King/John Steptoe Award for New Talent.

Early life

Smith was born in Maine to a military family that moved frequently; he also lived in Japan, Alabama, Michigan, Washington, DC, South Carolina, and Delaware, among other places.[1] His love of fantasy and science fiction novels began as a child, but he first worked as a writer in advertising before turning to writing children's fiction.[2]

Fiction career

Smith published his first book, Hoodoo, with Clarion Books in 2015.[3] Set in the 1930s Alabama,[4][5] Hoodoo earned Smith the American Library Association's Coretta Scott King/John Steptoe Award for New Talent.[6][7]

Smith's second book, The Mesmerist (Clarion Books, 2017), is set in London at the turn of the century.[8][9][10]

In January 2018, Smith published a children's novel for Marvel Comics featuring Marvel's superhero Black Panther.[11] The book, Black Panther: The Young Prince, was released just prior to Marvel's Black Panther film.[12] Reviewing the book in the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Literature, Kate Quealy-Gainer wrote, "Fans will notice allusions to T'Challa's future adventures as the ruling Black Panther, but even the comic-book averse will relate to T'Challa's negotiating of middle-school dynamics and may also appreciate his cleverness as he faces down his enemies."[13] The School Library Journal named the book to a list of eight fantasy "must-reads" featuring a black protagonist; their January 2018 review called it a "must-purchase for all collections."[14]

Personal life

Smith lives in Baltimore.[15]
