When I was little I had to be dragged out of the library kicking and screaming with my maximum allowance of six books clutched tightly in my sweaty little hands. I love books and have always wanted to create my own stories that others could get lost in, just as I had. Instead I trained as a nurse but after two years of fascinating academics and horrific job training, I passed the graduation roses to my mother and went on to study administration, travel the world, and develop an eclectic group of interests ranging from wine-making to creating gourmet pet food recipes.

While I continued to write, it wasn’t until I found the romance genre that I discovered my niche in the writing world. And now that I’m here, there’s no turning back. "From the Dust", my first published book, is a journey into history but there’s more to come. Every story is a journey to somewhere; the past, Cambodia, Borneo, the list goes on so check out www.ryshiakennie.com, my home on the web, and lose yourself in another world. « less
