It is creating worlds, living vicariously through our favorite characters, sometimes saying things we wish we had said to someone in our past.

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.

Wow! What a read! I read this in one sitting, unable to put it down.
When two men are murdered on the same night, a young woman is set up by the actual killer. If found guilty she will hang!

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.
