Declan Ryder is an author born and living in Scotland. A voracious reader from a young age, he is drawn to contemporary and sci-fi romance genres. This lifelong love of literature inspired him to pursue his own writing. The culmination of this is his debut sci-fi romance novel, SoulMatch. When not immersed in crafting his own narratives, Declan can often be found enjoying picturesque hikes through the Highlands countryside. He also cherishes opportunities to connect with fellow book lovers over spirited discussions of favorite authors at the local pub.
