Ryan's short story's span the spectrum of human emotions, from the creepy 'Nightmares,' to the fun and humour of 'The World's Biggest Bun.' Ryan believes all good short stories should have unexpected twists and turns. Applying his thriller writing skills he manages to achieve this end and readers will find Ryan's short story writing gripping but also easy to read. Quoting a recent review, 'These are very intriguing, original stories, all well written and enjoyable. Ryan really gets inside his characters and makes their world our world, whatever its moral code or unwritten rules. These stories are powerful and stay with you once you've finished them.' Praise for Short Stories: Includes 'Ruth' and 'Nightmares': 'Thomas Ryan constructs seven perfectly paced capsules of fiction in his book that is entitled exactly as to what it contains: 'Short Stories.' While the tone of the seven stories varies a great deal, the overarching themes present depict the struggles we face in achieving what we want, and how our relationships with the people around us can either help us obtain our goal, or complicate the matter even further. It can be argued that the most compelling story in the collection is the first one, Ruth, which tells the tale of an abused woman who is standing trial for her involvement in her husband's death. The ending of this story comes in an unexpected way, wrapping up the narrative in a dramatic fashion.' - Four Stars from Red City Review Short Stories volumes one and two are available in both print and ebook formats.

The title question might seem commonplace when investigating a dear friend's latest crush or a 'bromance' that's passed the test of time but when this question is posited to relative strangers, who find themselves spending (at times) weeks on end together, the answer is continually fascinating... even fateful.
