Patrick Ryan is from Columbus, Ohio and started dabbling in writing after college. After marrying Molly and living through the sports and activities of their children for several years he reignited his passion for writing with the publication of the popular short story collection, "Blood Verse" in less than a year. He is known for writing riveting action scenes. He followed up Blood Verse with the number one best seller at Black Bed Sheet Books, "The Night It Got Out," the 70's period novella, "The Maggots Underneath the Porch," a poetry collection titled, "Blood Prose," a sequel to The Night It Got Out: "The Night They Got Out," and a second short story collection, "Out of The Shadows." Most recently, he launched a multi-series collection of novels with the inaugural book: "Demon's Wrath ~ Death in Caguas, A Michael Moretti novel." He plans to write at least 10 books on Michael Moretti and his cohorts as they fight evil across the globe. He is currently working on over a dozen projects, including a Martial Arts Biography, a mainstream detective thriller many think will be movie worthy when published, several novellas, and some horror/sci-fi novels. Patrick enjoys sports, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and most hard rock, and reading great authors. A practitioner of martial arts for over 30 years, he holds a second-degree black belt and is a huge fan of Bruce Lee.
