Zach Ryan is a Nashville, Tennessee transplant originally born and raised in Millsboro, Delaware. After attending college at the University of Delaware, he spent 5 years as a self-produced playwright in New York City before the pandemic hit and forced a career shift. His love for writers like Agatha Christie, Gillian Flynn, Anthony Horowitz, and countless other well-rounded mystery writers has given him the courage to pursue a dream that was hidden away behind that foreboding fear of failure that so many potentially great writers face. Zach currently has two mystery novels out—The Deadline and Secret Santa—and is excited to be releasing his third!
