Multi-published, award-winning author, Renee Ryan, grew up in Florida where she spent her winters ballet dancing and her summers on the beach surfing and reading. She received a degree in Economics at Florida State University and continued her education on the graduate level, working as a TA and focusing on Religious Studies where she explored the Just War Theory in Shakespeare’s Historical plays.
Renee left academia to teach high school Latin, AP Economics and Political Science. With nearly thirty books published, she’s written for three publishers in several sub-genres, including historical fiction, historical romance, and contemporary romance.
She currently lives in Madison, Wisconsin with her husband and a large cat many have mistaken for a small bear.
