John Ryland is an author with a unique southern flare wrought from his humble beginnings in rural Alabama. His natural, unencumbered prose and shadowy southern style have made him a fan favorite. His work has been called “In the vein of M. Night Shyamalan and Alfred Hitchcock.” John lives in Northport, Alabama where he enjoys writing poetry, short stories, and longer works. When he's not writing, he likes to spend time with his wife and two rambunctious sons (the oldest is on the school tennis team and the youngest plays baseball and basketball, so we don't have much free time). He enjoys gardening- the simplicity of nature is calming, reading, and taking naps- which he rarely gets to do because of a full-time job and the aforementioned rambunctious sons. John has had a few single pieces of poetry published throughout the years and currently has a chapbook entitled: "The Stranger-poems from the Chair" available on Amazon. His debut novel "Soul's Harbor" was released in 2020. A collection of dark short stories entitled "Southern Gothic" was released in October 2020 and features the artwork of the talented Novyl Saeed. He also has a young adult dark romance entitled "Shatter". He is very excited about his latest novels, "Peripheral"- a paranormal suspense thriller, and "The Man with No Eyes"- an action suspense thriller. His novella "The Reality of Dreams" was released on Oct 17, 2022. "The Unkindness of Ravens", released on Dec 19, 2022, was a finalist for the Southern Gothic Book of the Year. "The Muck" was released in the summer of 2023, and in the fall, a collection of twisted tales entitled "Children of a Despicable Fate" was released as a companion to Southern Gothic. His latest work "Three Nights at the Jupiter" is currently available on all major markets. **P.S. There is a 17th-century Baptist Preacher by the same name. That is a different John Ryland. **
