Ryse Rice Cole

Ryse Rice Cole was born and raised in south Mississippi, attended the University of Southern Mississippi, graduating with a degree in Anthropology. Her immediate family still resides there. Ryse has been a writer for many years, penning her first poem at age 5. She is an avid reader and consumes books of all genres. She wrote her first book at age 20, but somewhere along the way lost the manuscript. Ryse is an avid traveler and has been to many countries and throughout most of the United States. Being an avid outdoorsy type, loving to camp, hike and swim, Ryse found the perfect vocation in inspection for oil and gas pipeline construction. Her job as Environmental Inspector allows her to combine her love of the outdoors, passion for maintaining the integrity of wetlands and waterbodies with a wonderful, fulfilling vocation. Ryse is a gypsy soul, rarely in one place for long. She considers Marietta, Texas to be home.
