My name is Ruu McKinney. I host the podcast “Stay @ Home” where I talk about the realities and responsibilities of being a stay at home dad. I share my experiences both good and bad, as well as the tips and tricks I’ve picked up along the way. Expect the first episodes to drop late april.

In addition to the Stay @ Home podcast, I also write fantasy-fiction novels, sci-fi short-stories, and various other forms of creative writing. While my main work revolves around the Gemsong Saga series, I also have several other upcoming projects, including the paranormal thriller Ten Nights. If you’re looking for something lighter, my creative writing series Candle & Quill offers a variety of short, unique pieces.

I am obsessed with coffee, an avid sport-bike rider, and a life-long lover of video games. I live in the Arkansas region of the USA, and can frequently be found on one of its many back roads whenever our fickle weather allows.
