Ridyr is a novelist and short story author infusing new adult literature with science fiction, fantasy, paganism and the paranormal. She is the author of the published works “The Itch,” “The Last God,” “Crossing Main Street on Colony 12,” and “Your Move, Planet Earth,” and the recipient of the honorable mention for the fiction category of the 2015 Thompson Writing Awards. She is also the author of “Answers,” a work of creative nonfiction. When not beating her head against a (usually metaphorical) wall, she can be found moonlighting as a high school teacher or playing fetch with Cat #2 (yes, fetch, yes, cat) while Cat #1 judges from somewhere high above the line of fire.

She currently resides in Aurora, Colorado.
