John Michael Ryan grew up and continues to live in the Skaneateles, NY area. This is the Finger Lakes region of upstate NY. Our hometown basketball team is the Syracuse Orangemen. As a child and teen, my passion was outdoor activity such as fishing, hunting and gardening. Today I have a 1/10 acre vineyard and small orchard. My passion for shooting with a camera and capturing with a pen continues. I am married to Christine and we have two adult children. I am an Engineer with a career in medical products. I have written a lot of technical documents during my life. In 2010, I learned that I was supposed to be an author. So now I support this desire and write professionally. I have many hobbies and always seem to be learning something new. I practice meditation and Reiki and have a keen interest in science, metaphysics and shamanism. My first book Poems For Prince of Wales taught me what writing and publishing was all about. It was written at my son's home in Alaska and is available in local gift shops. My second book Poems For Skaneateles allowed me to deeply explore my creativity. It is written about our local community and available in local gift shops. I now present my third book Easy Hard Cider, which is based upon more than 15 years of experience with making hard cider and wine. With this book, I branch into the "how-to" theme of writing and publishing. The expected launch date is early 2016. Look for additional future books from John Michael Ryan. The publication of this book has been a rewarding experience and I am thrilled to share it with you. Thank you for reviewing my book and making my dream come true. See less
