Shane M. Ryan is a debut author with a lifelong love of storytelling. He's been writing since sixth grade, drawn to exploring how small moments and hidden details can quietly shape entire lives. His work blends literary fiction, historical elements, and subtle horror — all circling the idea that the truth is often found in what’s left unsaid.

Shane's passion for the art of the novel extends to the cover art as well! Each cover for his current and upcoming project is painted by his hand. His debut novel, The Hotel Genovie, marks the first step in bringing those stories to life.

When he's not writing, he's probably lost in a book, overanalyzing everything, or chasing the perfect cup of coffee.
