Matt Ryland Author

Matt Ryland is the author of the Brent Savage series, including Cypher and Fallout, two emotionally charged thrillers that blend cinematic pacing with character-driven depth.

A self-proclaimed "hometown orphan," Matt moved six times before the age of eleven, eventually finding his emotional anchor in the Rocky Mountain West and the written word. He studied English and creative writing at the University of Wyoming, where his love of storytelling took root—not in lecture halls, but in the quiet corners where fiction became refuge.

When he’s not writing, Matt is a self-professed computer geek who finds peace in the outdoors, whether hiking through quiet trails or chasing the perfect landscape photo. He lives with his family in Northeast Ohio.—for now.
