Ryan P. C. Trimble has been writing since he first found, then promptly broke, his great-grandmother's typewriter as a toddler. Since then, he has gone on to write plays, sketch comedy, films, and now, a novel. Ryan was co-head writer for the Wilmington, North Carolina-based theatre troupe Pineapple-Shaped Lamps (a group helped found in 2010), as well as a morning newscast producer and reporter for WECT/WSFX in Wilmington. He now lives in Chicago, Illinois.
