Ryan Whitaker is a little fish in the big pond otherwise known as Chicago. When not watching the markets at the day job or working on the next story, Ryan can be usually be found in front of a large screen watching whatever sport is in season complete with a tv tray, a snack and a cold drink. During college football season, Ryan is wholly unreachable. Ryan’s debut short story, Other Things, is the first in a series of stories set in Ryan’s hometown scheduled to be published in 2013 by Rebel Ink Press.
