When the Pocono Liars Club opened the doors to submit a short story about lying for an anthology, I did not hesitate! I had the perfect poem, in lyric format, that I wrote several years ago that was the perfect fit with the theme.
Check out #TheFirstLie along with other amazing stories by other fantastic authors I've had the honor to meet!
I'm excited to announce that I'm a DOUBLE #Luminary finalist in the Person of the Year Awards!
My Journey as an Author highlights the highs and lows from my first year as an author, however the highs and lows don't just stop within the first year. In fact, I've been listening more to the shouts of doubt over the whispering voice of reason. This honor truly helps quiet the doubt shouting as the voice of reason takes over, that I am making progress and making a difference, my own speed...
E. Writer Congratulations! How cool. I see two of your books and another author I know on the author of the year list. Great job!
M. C. Ryder I totally forgot I had entered my books into the contest, it was so long ago that I entered them. So, it was a nice surprise!
E. Writer Those are the best surprises.

I may not be a professional in the field, but like Dr. Jane Goodall once said, I can be a voice for the voiceless!
Did you know the 3rd week of October is

Did you know that growing up I loved collecting #wolf books for the images within the pages?
One of my favorite Disney movies was Beauty and the Beast however, the portrayal of wolves attacking Belle is inaccurate...

Did you know the #wolf is my favorite animal?
So many #myths portray the wolf as a villain, but it's all due to a misunderstanding and constant negativity. Get the #facts by visiting organizations dedicated to shedding the truth...

Interesting. Did you know scientists have successfully cloned the dire wolf 🐺? I just saw a video news report on this about a week ago.https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/07/science/dire-wolf-de-extinction-cloning-colossal
M. C. Ryder Yes, I saw they "cloned" the dire wolf. I'm not entirely convinced and have mixed feelings.
E. Writer I wondered about that too. How 50,000 year old DNA is still usable. They claimed to have used about 99% and mixed the rest with the DNA from some other animal. I forget which one.
Alex Morton Have you ever read Farley Mowat's book, Never Cry Wolf? Long ago, he wrote about how wolves are misunderstood.
M. C. Ryder I've also seen the Never Cry Wolf documentary! I've got a list of books I recommend coming soon and that is one of them ;-)
Ever since I heard the narrative behind the story of #PowerSurge during the #authorpanel at #bookbar by #lizzieqnert, I knew it was going to be my next read!
News alert!
I'm excited to announce I'm in an #anthology! Pre-order now via #amazon and check out #TheFirstLie
