Ryan Williamson

Born in Canada, Ryan Williamson moved to the Seattle area in his teens, served in the U.S. Army as a cavalry scout, and sojourned for a time in Navajo country before ultimately returning to the Pacific Northwest, where he and his wife live in a half-empty nest with arguably too many dogs—and one Brachypelma boehmei (which she insists is also arguably too many).

He is the author of several novels, including The Stygian Blades, Doors to the Stars, The Widow’s Son, and the Doomsday Recon trilogy (with Jason Anspach), a #1 bestseller in military fantasy and war fiction praised for its immersive world-building, military authenticity, and unflinching portrayal of combat.
