William J. Ryan

I was born in poverty to a dysfunctional family that I have cut all contact with. My childhood was one horrific nightmare after another, which I have spent my life overcoming. Kicking all of them out of my life was the best thing that I ever did. At an early age I chose not to have children, because I was not given the skill to raise them and did not want to pass on the genetic dysfunctions that I was born into. Writing personal painful events in one of my fictional characters is second nature. It comes far far too easy.

In my early 20's, I discovered that my learning and reading disability had a name, Dyslexia. As an adult, I worked to overcome the problem I had with letters and numbers changing before my eyes. Later, I learned the power of reading and writing on my own, which I found is called Autodidact. I am glad to trade the curse of Dyslexia for the skills to invent and create people, places and events that I can see so clearly in my minds eye. Every story, every town and every person is 100% real to me. I can see every picture on their wall, the view out their window, the streets and homes of the neighborhoods, making them all so real to me and I hope to the reader as well. Artfully crafted acquired skills from a child trying to escape the insanity surrounding him and his young developing mind, where he found himself.

I worked seven years in the banking industry, where I saw V.P.'s change mortgage interest rates higher on loans in order to increase profits for the bank, cheating the customers. I refused to participate and I witnessed the V.P. instruct managers to create duplicate falsified files, concealing these crimes during a government audit. When I found the courage, I walked out without notice and changed my profession.

At this stage in my life, I have watched mans history continually being re-written, removing the light of truth, so I pull further away from people. I have found the worst being the so called God fearing people, that believe that they can do anything to anyone and God will forgive their sins, so they can do it again. Every one of them that I have met have shown me that their soul is nothing but a black oozing bag. There is no helping them, so I stopped trying and turn away.

The evil that most religious people do every day in their God's name (genocide, rape of a child, land grab and slavery), show us all that their god must have horns and a pointy tail. This clear understanding of people and the evil that exists just under the skin, emerges in all my stories. A good writer should not create without understanding first, write what you know. I know this evil all too well. I can write and attest to it.
