G’day, I’m Ryan Lindsay

I’m a writer who lives in Australia; the great southern land, the sunburnt country and the home of the wombat, clearly the toughest animal alive. Except for the honey badger.

I write in my spare time when not teaching, which means that most nights are spent on my laptop in my room. I am working towards getting my projects to different stages of publication.

I write all sorts of different things.
The Trouble With Jimmy Mann. A novel about life in Australia’s college residential systems, part Diner and part Last Kiss.
The Friendly Skies. A short story about a man on a plane who realises that all is not as it seems, in many aspects, part Twilight Zone and part David Mamet.
A range of poems that encompass all that I feel John Donne ever sought for.
The Man In The Red Suit. A comic limited series about an aged Matt Murdock being brought back to the game he once mastered, part Dark Knight Returns and part…well, hopefully not anything else, I really want it to be an original Lindsay piece, not some ripoff homage or valentine to former, and possibly better DD writers.
The Choice That Had To Be Made. A man’s journey into hereditary madness, or so it would seem. A short story that is part Outer Limits and part early Cronenberg.
Ego. An ongoing comic series about an actor who can read people’s minds. Part Brian K Vaughan and part Steven Soderbergh.
Once Upon A Time In Atlantis. An ongoing comic series set in Atlantis and following different characters as they develop immense power. Part Clash of the Titans, part Preacher and part David Koepp.
Hail HYDRA! An ongoing comic series about the reformation of HYDRA. Part Scorsese mixed with equal doses of Garth Ennis and Ed Brubaker.
Fate. A four issue mini series about a person waking after an attack to find that he is someone with powers. He also finds that there are many other people after him. To stay alive he has to find out who is after him, and why. It’s Garden State if the guy was some third tier hero, but well written.

My influences for writing vary but the main ones would be Stephen King, Clive Barker, Robert Kirkman, Brian K Vaughan, Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction, Garth Ennis, David Koepp, Ethan Coen, Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg, John Carpenter, Jostein Gaarder, Robert Rodriguez, Richard Matheson, Kevin Smith, Roald Dahl and Philip K Dick.

I was born in 1982. Clearly important information.
