Ron Leming

Ron Leming, born in 1950, is an American author best known for the novel The Gutbucket Quest (2000), co-written with the prolific fantasy and science fiction author Piers Anthony together with Jo Anne Taeusch. The collaboration reflects a practice Anthony used repeatedly across his career, pairing his experience and established readership with newer or first-time co-authors to help bring their work into print under a shared byline. The Gutbucket Quest is Leming's sole widely catalogued book, representing a single collaborative entry into published fantasy fiction, released through Anthony's regular publishing channels as part of a broader series of such team-written novels bearing his name alongside a co-author's.
