Author
Ryan Bracha is the Amazon best-selling author of eleven novels, a novella, and a collection of stories. At the age of twenty four, he had written and directed his first and only feature film 'Tales From Nowhere' which was described (by him and nobody else) as 'Pulp Fiction meets Kes' and was well received on its very limited release around his native South Yorkshire. Whilst his dalliance with the film industry was rewarding, it was very brief. Like a drunken one night stand he can barely remember anymore. What it did, however, was plant a seed of desire to tell transgressive and subversive stories. Almost four years in the making, his debut novel 'Strangers are Just Friends you Haven't Killed yet' was released to no acclaim and his friends agreed that it was hard work, but rewarding, like finally achieving a bowel movement in the midst of constipation. He then endeavoured to improve his output with every book released, pushing the boundaries of your taste and sensibilities, whilst working to an ethos of releasing the most original and daring fiction on the market. He is building up an aggressively loyal readership, who would fight you if you didn't get on board the Ry-Train, so, you know, buying and reading Ryan Bracha books is good for your health. Probably start with The Switched. It's Ryan's favourite book. He lives in Barnsley with his wife and daughter, two cats, and a flea infestation. Visit www.ryanbracha.webs.com for more information.
