Never thought I'd have a book with 1,000+ ratings. Well, now I do, and I'm so grateful for every single person who's taken the time to read and rate it. This gives me so much hope for the future. I have so many more stories to tell.

Know a reader? Readers always appreciate a good book, especially when it’s gifted with heart. I’ve written a few myself: emotionally charged contemporary fiction and gripping thrillers that make perfect stocking stuffers. Explore the stories and grab your copies at ryanlamantia.com.

Make a statement...tell the WORLD what you think of the books you read. Leaving a review for an indie author (like me) helps more than I can explain, and that's mostly because I haven't completely figured it out. What I do know is that reviews help get more eyes on my books and me, so...

I was up in Boulder (Colorado) on Saturday, and I saw eight to ten people paragliding together in the sky. It looked neat, but with everyone just gliding around and turning this way and that, I wonder how often they bump into each other. Sorry, they're so hard to see.

This little buddy came and paid me a visit today. #bee #workerbee #newfriends #buzzbuzz #stinger #insect #insectphotography #wings #buddy #bugs

On the road again...making that money. I hope you all have a great Sunday! #driving #rideshare #doingmybest #puttinginwork #indieauthor #sundaydriver #sundaysundaysunday #authorproblems #writer #denverauthor

I saw this old man crossing a bridge near the Denver Tech Center yesterday. Who cares...right? Not me! At least not until I saw the sweat mark on his lower back. I had to snap a photo (or three). #love #heart #oldman #walker #sweat #exercise #Denver #silverfox #hearthealthy #active

Went to Wishbone for lunch today with baby and baby mama. We went for some fried chicken, and to celebrate Drezden's 18th birthday (Wishbone is where she wants to go every year). Photo by Amber. #friedchicken #Wishbone #birthday #chicken #mashedpotatoes #mashedpotatoesandgravy #eighteen #adults
