Hi, I’m Ryan Rush, an independent, self-published author who loves exploring faith, imagination, and the timeless truths that shape our lives. My books — including The Orchard Gate, Mercy That Burns, and the upcoming Presence in Anguish — are part of my Unspoken Stories series, where I reimagine the spiritual insights of George MacDonald in a modern, accessible way.
When I’m not writing, I’m homeschooling my kids, training in Judo, or working on DIY projects that range from home repairs to building a primitive forge. I’m a bit of a curious soul — I dive into theology, history, and just about anything — and those interests often sneak into my stories, giving them depth and authenticity.
For me, writing isn’t just about telling a good story. It’s about creating worlds where readers can slow down, breathe, and find a spark of hope, faith, or quiet wonder.
