Ryan Strohman


Biography

I live in central Pennsylvania, work in the IT field, and enjoy exercising and hanging out with my wife, Lisa, and my two-year-old son, Adam. I've been writing for over a decade with two books self-published here on Smashwords, another currently being submitted to agents, and yet another in the works. Some of my favorite authors are Michael Crichton, Jeffery Deaver, Jeff Long, Dean Koontz, Chuck Palahniuk, and Jeff Lindsay, and my writing-style and stories are similar to those authors with elements of action, science fiction, horror, and numerous plot twists. Check out my work and let me know what you think!

  • Gaea's Chosen: The Mayday Directive on May 02, 2012

    Gaea’s Chosen: The Mayday Directive is a masterpiece. I’m typically more reserved when I critique the works of others, but Cara has written a story that is undeniably one of the best I’ve read. Her characters are captivating, and the setting and action are so well-written that this could easily be a television show or movie. The novel reminded me a bit of Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, but that is meant as a pure compliment. I will certainly be checking out her new story, Event Horizon, if it is anything at all like this one. I'd recommend this to anyone that loves a good sci-fi/action/adventure story!
