ⓘ About John Ryder

He has often said that his novels particularly those in the “Grant Fletcher” series of novels have been inspired by the likes of Matt Hilton, Lee Child, Zoe Sharp, and Tom Cain. When he is not penning his novels, John Ryder loves to spend much of his time socializing with friends, reading, and playing with his son. He is also a fanatic supporter of his local football team and often attends their matches to encourage young men much fitter and younger than he is. John freely admits that he has always hated writing about himself in the third person and that he is very lazy at updating his website. Still, he loves to stay in contact with his fans and readers through his newsletter. As a bibliophile, John Ryder has always been a huge fan of thriller and crime fiction works.
