<p>Ryan Dewalt has been quietly building the world of The Guardians for nearly thirty years, which is either admirable patience or a diagnosable condition depending on who you ask. He lives in Central California with his creative genius spouse and their four kids, fueled by an unreasonable quantity of coffee and a lifelong fiction habit he refuses to kick. You can find him on Bluesky at @rdewalt, usually when he should be writing.</p>
