The Lake Tahoe Community College alumnus was one of 12 writers to have his story published in the bestselling science fiction anthology series “L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 32”.

Ryan began his literary career by attempting to publish stories under the pen name Alan Wor, but now writes under his own name. He is studying creative writing at San Francisco State University.
