THE AUTHOR
Ryan P. Lynch writes about country he knows. He lives at 6,400 feet in the Colorado Rockies and spends a lot of his time in Montana, where the Ryder Lane books are set.
He is an upland bird hunter, woodworker, relic hunter, and overlander, usually with his silver Lab, Memphis, riding shotgun. The weather, the dogs, the guns, and the people in these books come from time spent out there.
