The Release Day Saga is the debut series of Ryan Matthews, an English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) teacher and graphic designer. In what little time remains between writing and teaching, he enjoys spending time with his family, taking pictures of mushrooms and insects on nature walks, and plowing through his extensive to-be-read list. He also dabbles in foreign language learning and the French horn. Ryan holds a Bachelor's Degree in Art and a Master's Degree in Education. He lives in Tennessee with his wife, daughters, and the family pets, Luna and Coda.
