About Ryder Tombs
Ryder Tombs is a Central California-based writer of gay and bisexual erotica, blending sensuality, intrigue, and rich storytelling. Inspired by vintage queer literature, West Coast landscapes, and underground nightlife, his work explores the intensity of desire in all its forms. When he’s not writing, Ryder can be found road-tripping along the coast, sipping craft cocktails, or getting lost in a well-worn paperback.
