My name is Ryan Delaney. I live with my wife, Jackie, my daughter, Molly, and my son, Ryan, in Mantua Ohio. I am currently the director of music at Hilltop Christian Church, and I teach music in Painesville. I am long time fan of the fantasy genre. Some of my favorite authors are C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Terry Brooks, and George R. R. Martin. I have many inspirations for my writing, including my family, my friends, my faith, and my love for stories. In reading, I have found a way to escape our sometimes harsh reality. I hope to send my readers on an adventure away from their normal, everyday lives.
