However, Ryk Brown did not take any of these comments to heart. This praise would have pushed any other author to pursue a writing career.

Not only did he realize that he could indeed do it, but all Ryk’s friends and family heaped praise upon his science fiction novel, referring to it as the sort of addictive read they struggled to put down. The author had no publishing dreams or intentions at the time. Ryk had so much time on his hands that he even wrote a science fiction novel. Work was really slow at the author’s ambulance station. Ryk’s journey to publishing success began when he became a paramedic.

The author’s friends and family have always believed in his abilities as a writer. It helped that Brown had so much support. Even as he aimlessly wandered through life, the author never stopped writing. It was for this reason that the author experimented with a number of jobs, this including playing guitar, cooking and working as a stage lighting technician.

He also relished the idea of creating characters that could explore space and the universe. Ryk Brown was drawn to science fiction because it allowed him to create stories in which he could shape humanity’s future as he wished. He was especially interested in space and the science fiction genre as a whole, and it was his wish to eventually create his own on-going science fiction series. Like many authors, Ryk always dreamed about writing as a child.
