Ryan Paul McGowan
Books for kids of all ages.
Hello!

My name is Ryan and I write books for kids of all ages. Parents and teachers, my books are available for free! You can download the PDF and EPUB, no questions asked. If you or your child enjoyed my stories, please share them with others. Make a social media post. Leave a review on Amazon and Goodreads. That's worth more than money to me.

Parents, feel free to read the books before giving it to your child. While I don't believe that my books will have anything objectionable, every parent is different. My books do not contain trigger warnings as I believe they cheapen the story and do more harm than good.

My books are a great way to move your child away from graphic novels. I don't think there's anything wrong with them, but, there's a whole world of wonderful books out there for them if they can get over that hump. I have short chapters (around 1,000 words a piece) and most of my chapters end on slight cliffhangers, similar to how R.L. Stine does it with Goosebumps. But! Reader Beware! My cliffhangers are more than your aunt with the sour breath touching your shoulder.

Teachers (and homeschool parents!), feel free to use my books in your classroom. There is no cost to using them. If you want physical copies at a lower cost than what is available on Amazon, please contact me on Facebook. I check that more than the Contact form here. Feel free to print out any part of the works to use in your class. I also have classroom guides on my website that you can modify as you like. My only ask is that you don't bore your kids to death with books.

There's no such thing as writer's block. That was invented by people in California who couldn't write.
