Who Am I?
I am Ryder Phoenix, an indie author who's been writing my whole life. I'm transgender and nonbinary (they/them pronouns, please), and I enjoy making LGBTQ+ characters just like me--and maybe even like you! I'm also an artist, and though I've been drawing a long time, it's only recently that I've been more serious about my art.
I've been self-publishing through KDP back when it was Createspace (and I had a different name), so I have a pretty good idea of the problems KDP likes to cause. That's one reason I created this website, so I can share this information with other aspiring writers, in the hopes that they won't make the same mistakes as me.
Outside of my art obsessions, I enjoy doing martial arts (Choy Li Fut Kung Fu and Yang-Style Tai Chi) and aspire to be an instructor some day. I'm also vegan and love nature, and I'd really like to travel more often! I enjoy researching Daoist philosophy, tarot cards, crystals, magic, and other spirit-y topics. I also try meditation...if my mind isn't too distracted every time I sit down. I love the band Queen (and you can see my poor attempt of being Freddie Mercury below). I have two funny cats, also depicted for your enjoyment!
