Matt Ryland is the author of Cypher and Fallout, the first two books in the gripping Brent Savage series. A self-proclaimed "hometown orphan" after a childhood spent moving six times before the age of eleven, he found his love for stories-and the Rocky Mountain West-while studying English and creative writing at the University of Wyoming. When not writing his next action-thriller, Matt is a computer geek who enjoys hiking and landscape photography. He lives with his family in Northeast Ohio...for now.
