Ryan Southwick

Ryan Southwick decided to dabble at writing late in life, and quickly became obsessed with the craft. He grew up in Pennsylvania and moved to a farming town on California’s central coast during elementary school, but it was in junior high school where he had his first taste of storytelling with a small role playing group and couldn’t get enough.

In addition to half a lifetime in the software development industry, making everything from 3-D games to mission-critical business applications to help cure cancer, he was also a Radiation Therapist for many years. His technical experience, medical skills, and lifelong fascination for science fiction became the ingredients for his book series, “The Z-Tech Chronicles“, which combines elements of each into a fantastic contemporary tale of super-science, fantasy, and adventure, based in his Bay Area stomping grounds. Ryan’s related short story “Once Upon a Nightwalker” was published in the Corporate Catharsis anthology, available from Paper Angel Press.

You can find out more about Ryan Southwick at his website, Ryan Southwick, Author and his Facebook page.

    “MacLaren-Wray’s imagination is brilliant, bringing her world to life with vivid imagery and fierce characters. And her strong knowledge of engineering and physics, along with her attention to mechanical detail, pull the reader into a vortex of adrenaline-fueled, realistic action. It’s thrilling!”

    “… a delightful little adventure. If you’re looking for a bit of short, punchy science fiction and an introduction to a fun and interesting space station inhabiting the center of our galaxy, pop a quarter in and give ‘Coke Machine’ a try.”

    Ryan Southwick, author of “The Z-Tech Chronicles“

    “As the story unfolds, you’ll find universal themes: community, empathy, and kindness; along with privilege, prejudice, and power — you never know what’s coming.”

    Nancy Wood, author of the “Shelby McDougall Mysteries“

    “The writing style is warm and welcoming like a grandmother’s arms, and serves as a great glimpse of things to come in this new series.”
