edit data

Ryan Matthews is the offspring of a mystery-loving nursing professor and science-advocating environmental chemist who fostered his lifelong love of learning. After working for a decade in the field of graphic design, he felt the call of education and now teaches English to speakers of other languages. Outside of work, Ryan thoroughly enjoys playing board games with his family, torturing the French horn, tromping through state parks, and studying foreign languages and cultures. He lives in Tennessee with his wife, daughters, and the family pets—Luna and Coda.

Memories of Bronze is Ryan’s first delve into the world of supernatural mystery. His debut series, the adventure-packed Release Day Saga, is young-adult speculative fiction.
