A friend of mine does these amazing miniatures. Look at the one she made of my home office. So many fun details, including my dog's favorite stuffed bigfoot on the floor (minus the eyes--just like the real one!) A fun addition to my bookshelves. #booksky #mystery #writingcommunity #writinglife

Nice review from Library Journal for Monster in the Moonlight (pub date 1/27/26). Their "verdict": “A fascinating and complex novel that will appeal to both mainstream mystery lovers and fans of paranormal mysteries. Ryan has created a unique character in cryptozoologist Morgan.” ~ Sandra Knowles

I turned in the ms for book 4 in the Monster Hunter Mysteries yesterday to my editor. Feels good to have it "done" but now comes the nail-biting wait for feedback. In the meantime, I'm working up ideas for book 5. #booksky #writingcommunity #writer #writinglife #mystery #monsterhuntermystery

I don't want to imply that new puppy, Hurley, is a pain in the butt for Winston but....

#mystery #cryptids #Hodag #booksky #anneliseryan #monsterhuntermystery

Meet Hurley. We planned on a different name before we got him but he barfed 3 times in the car on the way home. So we named him Hurley after one of my book characters. Winston (named after another of my characters) is being such a good big brother. #book #dogs #writingcommunity #writinglife #booksky
