What's Past Is Prologue

My name is Ryan and I tell stories. I'm just a gangly kid with big shoes and bigger dreams.

About Me

Greetings, Earthling, Omicronion, or Other!

I am the proprietor of this delicatessen of words and et cetera, the generalissimo of all that you see before you. I am, indeed, the legend and the myth all rolled into one convenient 6’1” gangly package of sarcasm and protruding collar bones!

I am Ryan. I am a twentysomething writer-slash-student-slash-blowhard, and I spend a good portion of my day talking about a lot of those things. The only thing bigger than my ego is my vocabulary. Watch: Scatological, prognostications, rumspringa. The next time you see those words in conversation, you’ll think of me, I guarantee it.

I write books sometimes. I talk about my liberal politics a lot of the times (and then move it over here when it gets a bit much). Sometimes I’ll talk about whatever strikes my fancy — I am a Potterhead, an Avatard, a newly-minted Whovian, a bookworm, a connoisseur of American history and Constitutional law, and an enormous fan of the works of Bill Watterson.

I also run the blog Shakespeare’s English, if you’re into that sort of thing.

That’s all. This is my face.
