Books written by Ryan Peter
As a best-selling writer, ghostwriter, and author of my own works, I have a few books I’ve published and worked on.
I’ve had the privilege of my work being covered in the New York Times, at NYR Daily, on the BBC, or on CNBC, and many other publications.
Some of my ghostwriting clients have won awards from the work I’ve done for them. I have even worked for a president.
My style in non-fiction writing is very much “creative non-fiction” — a New Journalism style. If you’d like to contact me to help you on your book, just reach out through my Substack or email spearwire@substack.com.
Below you can find books I’ve written and projects I’ve been involved in.
As Ryan Peter - My Published Works
When Twins War - Book II
With a rich and layered fantasy world akin to the classics, When Twins War mingles traditional Western fantasy with middle-eastern adventure and African folklore. It’s something of a mix between The Lord of the Rings and Arabian Nights, with an African edge.
“Fans of well-crafted, epic myth-worlds full of flawed heroes, ancient evils, magical occurrences, and tongue-twisting geographical locations will find much to love in Ryan Peter’s When Twins War: Book I. Following in the footsteps of such literary luminaries as Tolkien and Martin, Peter has created a lush, intricately-detailed realm for his characters and their stories.” – Noisetrade books
When Twins War - Book I
For over a thousand years the twin cities of Iza-Kiêrre and Ben-Kiêrre have upheld a covenant of peace, protecting the South of Lexedore from the Moncoin, an ancient evil of the past. But when the cities go to war, all of Lexedore is thrown into turmoil.
Only Tarkanyon the Outlander can restore peace. But his journey to the cities uncovers something more sinister behind the war, and that the Wealth, a magic thought to only belong to the long-gone race of Genicoins, is returning in the most unexpected of places.
