Michael D. Ryan

Michael D. Ryan is a retired Vice President of Sales and Marketing. His interests are varied and many. Activities such as boating, skiing, golf, and scuba diving had all at one time or another occupied his time. He is an accomplished woodworker, having made everything from kids toys to a number of fine pieces of furniture that occupy prominent spots in his home, the homes of his children and with a few close friends. He has also enjoyed owning a number of classic cars.

Above all, his interest in animals of all kinds is paramount. Currently, his Bernese Mountain Dog and four talking parrots keep him busy and amused.

In early 2019 he took two on-line courses in writing fiction and has had the bug ever since. Most recently he has enjoyed writing fictional mysteries and has published six. A seventh, "Confederate Gold" and a work of historical fiction, will be the fifth of the Nick Nova series and should be available for Christmas 2022.
