Louisiana Hydra: Debut Release Out Now

Gregory Ryman - Debut Author

Welcome to my website. I hope you find what you're looking for and maybe a few pleasant surprises...

My first book ‘Louisiana Hydra’ was published on March 31, 2024. It seems to be getting a very positive response, as you can see on the 'Review' page of this site. It is a thriller novel, which has been my preferred genre to read for years. That obviously makes me a big fan of authors such as John Sandford, David Baldacci, Michael Connelly, Lee Child, Ian Rankin and Jo Nesbo, to name a few.

I do, however, have to give a big shout-out to Stephen King, who changed me from a passive reader of whatever crossed my line of sight into a reader who would end up drumming his fingers on the desk, waiting for that next book to come out. Good job & thank you, you creepy bastard.

Retirement resulted in dramatically expanding the amount of spare time I had available. And apparently, there is a limit to the number of home improvement projects one can take on before their significant other starts pointing to the back door saying, “No. Out. Dig a ditch or whatever. Just stop doing things in here.” I’m a lousy ditch-digger, so writing seemed like a reasonable alternative.

Before retirement, I spent most of my career in the technology field. Up through the ranks. Operations. Programming. Data Analysis. Systems Analyst. Architect, Manager. The propeller on my beanie was always spinning. I really did love it and I worked with a lot of really great people.

I have an incredible family. My dog is a good boy. Our cats are…well… cats. Life is good. I’ll tell you more as it comes to me. Check the website. I’ll probably start writing about other random things there eventually. Thanks for the visit.
