About the editor
Hi, I’m Ryan Law. I started Ash Tales in 2015 as somewhere to publish the stories I was writing about the end of the world.
I’ve been fascinated by the subject for more than fifteen years, researching everything from homesteading and wilderness survival to nuclear fallout patterns. I’m the author of The Green Priest and The Death-Marked Pilgrim, the first two books in my post-apocalyptic fantasy series, The Rainmaker Writings.
In my day job, I’m Director of Content Marketing at Ahrefs. I’ve spent most of my career writing, editing and helping other people explain complicated ideas clearly.
