Ryan S. Fortney
Biography
Thinking, always thinking. Every time his fingers hit the keyboard or pen hits paper, something new bleeds out.
There’s no stopping the monster machine that is Ryan S. Fortney, author of books like Paxcorpus and hilariously short stories such as White Night.
But the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania born author wasn’t always this way.
For a long time there was a power struggle between his mind, his creativity and the outlet through which it would seethe.
Growing up, he had been extremely fond of illustration and cartoons. He’d sit around watching his favorite shows and with a pencil and a little tablet, he’d mimic that particular artist’s style.
In his teenage years, his sketching continued, yet he could never reach the greatness that he believed to be all around him. It just never felt right.
The very last thing he drew was a strange work of sorts – The face of a woman and two characters that he thought might star in a comic book series. These very characters ended up being the start of something bigger and greater, when he turned 23 and finally discovered what outlet he would settle into, after many grueling, painstaking years.
Ryan S. Fortney graduated High School with a diploma and exceptionally high grades in English and literature. Later, he would attend a few college level creative writing courses and begin his descent into writer madness.

The only stipulation I have about this story is that it's too short!
The minute I started reading I was pulled in. Joshua reminds me of myself and one of my biggest fantasies: meeting a woman from another world and having her all to myself.
The way you introduced her, I immediately wanted her as much as J did. But then, in a flash, about as quick as she was introduced, she was gone. I felt that I missed her as much as Josh did.
Please make this story longer, or continue it. If you have, I'm going to go look through your catalogue right now.
I loved this story and it hurt to end it so abruptly.
