Hi everyone, I thought I’d pop a proper post up and introduce myself for anyone who’s new here.

My name’s Ryan Mayo. I’m a Sussex lad, an ex British Army veteran, and these days I’m an indie author building a military fiction series I’m massively proud of. I served in the Royal Artillery back in the day, and a lot of what I write is inspired by real experiences, real people, and that very real mix of humour, graft, fear, loyalty and grit that stays with you long after you’ve hung the uniform up.

I’ve currently got two books out on Amazon, The Lost Hero and Faultline Ghost in the Woods, and they sit inside my wider series, the Clarke Legacy. The heart of it all is this idea of legacy, what we carry, what we bury, and what comes back when we least expect it.

So what’s next?

I’m deep in the writing trenches on my third book, When the Shooting Stops. This one is personal. It’s about what happens after the noise fades, when you’re left with your own head and the bits you never managed to say out loud. It’s not just a war story, it’s a human story, and it means a lot to me to get it right.

After that, I’m pushing into two big projects that I’m seriously excited about.

Michael’s story, which will dig into the pain, the pressure, and the moments that shape a man when everything around him is heat, chaos, and consequences. And this one will also hit like a hammer… With the Hound. His origin story. The making of the myth. How a person becomes a shadow people whisper about, and what it costs to walk that road.

Then, to bring it all together, I’m building toward the final arc, the big Faultline finale. It’s going to be a fast paced cat and mouse chase that pulls threads from everything that’s come before, with old faces, new allies, and the kind of choices that leave scars.

If you’ve supported me already, thank you. Honestly. If you’re new, welcome aboard. And if military fiction isn’t usually your thing, even a quick like, comment, or share can help these stories reach someone who will genuinely love them.

I’ll keep you all updated as the next chapters land. Thanks for reading, and thanks for being here.
