About the Author

​

Gregory Ryman is a Canadian author and retired technology executive whose passion for intelligence history and global politics fuels his tightly plotted spy thrillers. His novels are known for weaving together authentic detail, moral complexity, and high-stakes intrigue rooted in the modern intelligence landscape.

His debut, Louisiana Hydra, introduces Stephanie Borden, a brilliant international consultant who is inadvertently pulled into a dangerous conspiracy. Thrown together with William Stinson—a reserved but gifted CIA technology specialist—Borden is drawn deep into the agency’s orbit. By the novel’s end, she emerges not just as a survivor but as an unofficial CIA asset, her previous life left behind.

In the follow-up, Artificial Hydra, Stephanie finds herself pressed into a more formal operative role. With Stinson now acting as both handler and partner, she’s tasked with navigating a geopolitical minefield where artificial intelligence and global surveillance collide.

Ryman brings his background in technology to bear in stories that probe institutional power, surveillance ethics, and the fragile line between loyalty and self-preservation. His writing is driven by character, realism, and a deep curiosity about how intelligence is gathered, wielded, and often misused.

He continues to develop the Borden–Stinson thriller series, exploring the evolving nature of espionage in an increasingly digitized world.
