About Me

My grandfather inspired my passion for storytelling. He'd often improvise fanciful bedtime stories for my sisters and me. It blew me away how he could create such cohesive, elaborate—and often magical—stories on the spot. He made me feel like I was the main character of his life.

He passed away too young from melanoma. I still think about him when I write, and I wish I could share my creations with him.

He ignited the fire, now I carry the torch onward.

Ryan Daniele started his writing career in 2020. A piano teacher by trade, Ryan fills his house with music by day and stories by night. When he’s not hooking gutter balls at the lanes, you’ll find him cruising around on his inline skates, composing songs on his baby grand, or tweaking rules to classic board games—because why not? Ryan is a Barq’s root beer enthusiast who lives in California with his wife and son.

appear in droves for you."
