Ryan Melsom has never stopped dreaming about new ways he could get ideas out of his head and into the world. He holds a PhD in literature from Queen's University and has long been fascinated with the interplay among culture, technology, spirituality, spaces, and human nature. Through the years he has explored these topics through numerous creative media, including two previous works of fiction, academic writing, experimental web spaces, music projects, and a black belt in karate. He grew up in Kamloops, British Columbia, and now lives in Ottawa with his wife and two boys.
