Merry Christmas! What better way to start the new year than with a new book or two? I'm especially proud of these four. Pick 'em up and let me know what you think! Happy holidays, everyone! #readersofinstagram #bookstagram #newbook #bookrecommendations #bookrecs

Don't forget...tomorrow's the big day! We'll be at Lot 46 Music Bar in Edgewater between 1:00 & 6:00 PM. We will have lots of unique and original items for sale, so if you're in need of a last-minute holiday gift for someone special, come see us tomorrow. I'll be there signing my books. #denver

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
