Austin Ryan

Austin Ryan writes sweet and magical romance inspired by the folklore of her Norwegian upbringing.

She’s a freelance editor and proofreader by day and writes her own stories by night. She’s a firm believer in happily ever after, and that magic can be found in the dullest of places if you only look hard enough (or if you can’t find it after all, you can write it into a book).

Austin lives by the ocean in Connecticut, USA, where the bookshelves are many, the Christmas lights stay up all year long, and something or other is usually being painted (furniture), or baked (cakes), or written into a story (folklore, magic, and banter).

Her latest novel The Norwegian Christmas Marriage Plot: A Sweet Romantic Comedy (based on an earlier novella) was published on December 23rd, 2023.

She has also written:

2023: A Winter Proposal: A Fae Enemies to Lovers Romance set in magical Norway

2022: Heiress of the Magical Fairshaw Library: A Magical Historical Romance set in beautiful England (previously titled "The Fairshaw Library")

2021: Pirate’s Treasure: A Women's Fiction Time-travel Romance set in 1725 and 2019 coastal New England
