Ryan Lawrence was born and raised in Guelph, Ontario. He is a 2000 graduate of The University of Guelph in English. Ryan has worn many hats professionally, including working over 12 years as a custom art framer. While writing and editing have always been a part of his life, it wasn’t until after leaving this profession that Ryan truly took his education and passion for writing by the horns, beginning the journey that led to Vindictive, his first novel—a story soon followed by Vindictive Too, which continues his exploration of the theme of revenge. A third novel is set for a late 2026 release.
Recently, Ryan has ventured into the world of gay romance—with a historical, gothic-fantasy twist—through his OwnVoices novels The Night Belongs To Lovers and I Will Always Find You.
Since 2002, Ryan has lived in London, Ontario, with his husband, Todd, their cat Dora, and his massive comic book collection that once fell on Todd. He’s okay.
