Born and raised in the tropical heat of North Queensland, Australia, Benjamin J. Ryan has always had his nose in books of magic, heroes, and the supernatural. He started writing at the age of fifteen, an enthusiasm which has become a passion and a habit, as well as a distraction from his profession as a qualified physiotherapist. When not writing or working, Benjamin likes to dally in the worlds created by his beloved books, films, and games. Beckoning of the Gate is the first book in his debut fantasy series: The Vāyilian Threads. And old gods willing, it won’t be his last.
