About Aaron Ryan, Author
Award-winning and bestselling author, speaker, panelist, workshop presenter and voice actor Aaron Ryan lives in Washington with his wife and two sons, along with Macy the dog, Winston the cat, and the finches Inky, Pinky, Blinky & Clyde.
He is the author of the bestselling "Dissonance" 6-book alien invasion saga, the Christian dystopian fiction saga "The End," the sci-fi thrillers "Forecast" and "The Slide," the nonfiction book "God Is Not Santa," the children's picture books "The Ring of Truth," "The Sword of Joy" and "The Book of Power," the business reference books "How to Successfully Self-Publish & Promote Your Self-Published Book" and "The Superhero Anomaly", 6 business books on voiceovers penned under his former stage name (Joshua Alexander), as well as a previous fictional novel, "The Omega Room."
When he was in second grade, he was tasked with writing a creative assignment: a fictional book. And thus, "The Electric Boy" was born: a simple novella full of intrigue, fantasy, and 7-year-old wits that electrified Aaron's desire to write. From that point forward, Aaron evolved into a creative soul that desired to create.
He enjoys the arts, media, music, performing, poetry, and being a daddy. In his lifetime he has been an author, voiceover artist, wedding videographer, stage performer, musician, producer, rock/pop artist, executive assistant, service manager, paperboy, CSR, poet, tech support, worship leader, and more. The diversity of his life experiences gives him a unique approach to business, life, ministry, faith, and entertainment.
Aaron's favorite author by far is J.R.R. Tolkien, but he also enjoys Suzanne Collins, James S.A. Corey, Michael Crichton, Marie Lu, Madeleine L'Engle, John Grisham, Tom Clancy, Tim Lebbon, Christopher Golden, C.S. Lewis, Stephen King and Dave Barry.
Aaron has always had a passion for storytelling. Visit his website at https://www.authoraaronryan.com, the Dissonance saga website at https://www.dissonancetheseries.com, or The End saga website at https://thisisnottheend.com.

"What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?"
When I ordered that Big Mac and received a Quarter Pounder instead. Hmmm. That's STILL a head scratcher.
"Can you tell us a two-sentence horror story?"
Yes. My parents conceived me. And then I was born. You're welcome! I'll see myself out.
"If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?"
DEFINITELY New Zealand to see where they filmed Lord of the Rings. And I know that this isn't entirely the right answer, but, well, there it is.
"What books are on your summer reading list this year?"
S.A. Corey's "The Expanse", anything else by Marie Lu beyond the Legend series, and of course, a reread of Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" is always in order! Also, "Sunrise on the Reaping" by Suzanne Collins
"We all must do what we must do; for if we do not, then what we must do does not get done." - Chung Mi, Volunteers
"Let's Rock!" - Vasquez, Aliens
"Game over man, just gave over!" - Hudson, Aliens
"Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should." - Dr. Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park
