Ryan LaMantia (Author)
@ryan-lamantia
I am an indie author from Denver, Colorado. I have written Road Trip, Unintended Consequences, The E.T. Fort, and To Serve and Protect (2025).
Here it is...the new addition to the wall above my computer. I've changed my writing process, and I thought a reminder might help me get back on track. Lately, I've been trying to perfect my manuscript on the first attempt, so I'm not getting as much writing done as I'd like per session.
Thank you to all who have recently visited ryanlamantia.com! I am eternally grateful for all the recent book sales/purchases! You've made my whole week. Thank you, everyone. Enjoy your weekend! #appreciative #indieauthor #thrillerauthor #contemporaryfiction #bookstagram
If you are in Denver (or nearby), the HQ Garage Sale is the place to be on September 20th. I will be there selling and signing my books, but there will also be all sorts of cool things to check out from lots of cool people. Records, books, art, jewelry, action figures, and SO MUCH MORE.
Most people don't watch my videos for more than a few seconds, so I thought I'd better get right to the point with this one. Check out my books at ryanlamantia.com. Thank you! Have a great evening! #bookstagram #indieauthor #tothepoint #fictionauthor #readabook
All set. Come on down! In the back, we've got different sports on several different TVs, booze, (great) food, and me (with books). There's fantastic live music, booze, and excellent food out front. The staff here is always amazing! You're missing out if you don't come to Clancy's Irish Pub today.
TOMORROW!!! PLEASE SHARE!! We had an author drop out a couple of days ago, but as they say...the show must go on. A big thanks to Ian Thomas Healy for being able to join us. We'll see all of you tomorrow! Great food, great booze, and great books by Colorado authors.
*PLEASE SHARE!* Don't forget, we will be at Clancy's Irish Pub on Saturday from 12-5 PM. We'll have six Colorado authors to meet and greet. Come on down! ryanlamantia.com #localauthor #indieauthor #irishpub #thingstodoindenver #bookstagram
A huge thank you to my sister (Maggie Rold) and Henry Winkler (The Fonz) for having lunch with me today. Henry (that's what he insisted I call him) had so many amazing stories and so much great life and career advice. He even did the Arthur Fonzarelli voice for a minute or two!
It's a lovely day to buy some local art! Fabric collages by Cecilia, and books by me (Ryan LaMantia). Get down here! We are all set up! #localart #localartists #localauthor #denverartist #denverauthor
