About Ryder Tombs
Ryder Tombs is a queer author of speculative fiction, crafting slow-burn romances set against fantastical and genre-bending worlds. His stories celebrate LGBTQ+ love with heart, wit, and a touch of the uncanny, giving queer characters the epic adventures and tender connections they deserve. When he isn’t writing, Ryder can be found collecting vintage paperbacks and fueling new ideas with far too much espresso.
