Ryan J. Ward is a native of Knoxville, TN and as a result, he bleeds orange. When he is not writing or reading, he can be found in Tampa, FL conjuring up a new adventure with his beautiful wife and daughter, along with their two highly energetic schnauzers, Loki and Nessy.

He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies from the University of South Florida. He held various jobs such as bartender, barista, and teacher before he found his love for writing books.

Logan James and the Great Six was his debut novel and the first in the trilogy, A Hardwicke Epic.

He has since gone on to publish two quirky fantasy novels The Woodborn and The Drakon. He is currently working on a space fantasy series, set to be released in late 2023.
