It is more than just writing books
It is creating worlds, living vicariously through our favorite characters, sometimes saying things we wish we had said to someone in our past.
Publishing
I am self-published and I work with other authors who wish to do the same. It is my pleasure to help them - not my business.
Selling Book
Getting my books into the hands of readers and then, hopefully, reading their reviews, is what drives me to write. I love the process.
Editing
All of my books have been self-edited but each one is going through a full professional edit for release.
Community
I am a member of more than two dozen Indie Author Facebook groups. Fans and Authors unite on these sites
About Author
Writing books makes the world go round
I write with the reader in mind. My goal is to entertain and describe a world, a life, an adventure or a setting in a way that touches the readers heart. Adrenaline rush or soothing comfort, whatever the reader is looking for, I want to provide in my books. Good guys will always win. Villains have to lose in my world.
Blake Franklin Investigations or the adventures and heroics of Quincy Ashford. West Virginia, Texas or soon – Wallingford Heights, Massachusetts are the locales for my books. Make yourself at home and enjoy a great book.

This first installment in the Blake Franklin crime is fantastic. The characters, the narrative, the storyline - all are excellent. The only think about the book that I found unbelievable was that this was Ryan Hale's first crime novel. I'd rate the book six stars if I could..... Highly recommend!

“One for the Money” by Ryan Hale is a fabulous read. This is one of those rare books that draws the reader in from the start and does not let go, and that is part of the fun, especially since the story seems to unfold with the speed of a roller coaster that happens to have many twists and turns.
