Ryan McGuire

Ryan is the co-author of the Sagas of Odenseye, along with JD McLucas. Handling world building, storyboarding, character development and overarching story points, Ryan was a major part of building the Odenseye into the detailed, living, breathing world that exists today. Many of the Nirali characters, specifically, were created by Ryan, and he is a major driving factor behind Odenseye's geopolitics.

Born and raised on a small farm near Springfield, Illinois, Ryan now splits his time between farming and union construction work. He lives in his childhood farmhouse with his cats Cringer, Montork, Panthor and Phoebe.

Ryan's inspirations include JRR Tolkien, Frank Herbert, George Lucas, Rod Sterling, and the entire cast and crew of He-Man: Masters of the Universe.
