  • Three published novels. One family legacy. And the next storm is coming. There are some stories that entertain. And there are others that stay with you. Faultlines of War is more than a military fiction series. It is a story of courage, sacrifice, survival, and the long shadow war casts over families across generations. These…

  • People see the finished books and think it just appears. It doesn’t. I’m Ryan Mayo, I work full time, and I’m self published. That means I’m the writer, editor, marketer, and delivery driver. Most days look like this… Up early, coffee in hand, brain already on the next chapter. At work, I’m thinking covers, blurbs,…

The office parties start first. Suddenly, the people you normally only talk spreadsheets and deadlines with are in Christmas jumpers, passing round…

And when it doesn’t, I give it a quick tap like an old satnav and tell myself, “Right… re-route, mate.” Because let’s be honest — I’m not walking around with…

    When I first sat down to write The Lost Hero, I knew it wasn’t going to be a one-off story.
