About

Ryan K. Howard was born in Orange County, California but spent most of his adolescence growing up in the rural region of East Texas. Raised by a hard working single-mother with a restless spirit, Ryan frequently moved with his mom to help her chase the next dream. By the time he reached adulthood, he'd already called numerous locations home--from the country life of the Deep South to the laid back culture of the West Coast, rinse and then repeat.

Ryan inherited the moving habit from his mom and continues the tradition of relocating residences to this very day (and with head-scratching regularity). He currently divides his time between Southern California and the Pacific Northwest. While the frequent change of scenery probably seems unstable to the naked eye, Ryan is quick to point out (more to convince himself, mind you) that uber-artistic energy is drawn from his eclectic experiences. It's hard to argue that claim as it shows in the cinematic imagery and heartbreakingly-genuine interactions that ring true in his debut novel Black Machetes.

Ryan's primary writing base is Seattle where he lives with his beautiful wife, his two youngest kiddos, and a house full of ghosts that get pretty active when his early drafts are read aloud to them.
