A terrible roar pierced the night sky. Aquarius dropped the pitcher and hurried away. Aries’ fleece turned a little less golden. All the stars seemed to tremble. “Help us!” Queen Cassiopeia called in the distance. “The sea monster is here!” she cried. Andrew soared back to the middle of the sky. He found the king and queen sobbing. The king stared blankly at Andrew for a moment, until a look of hope flashed across his face. “Cetus has taken our daughter,” he said. “Will you save her from the sea monster?” He pointed toward the southeast, past Perseus and beyond Pisces. Andrew nodded. Saving the princess would be quite an adventure. Queen Cassiopeia glanced at the boy. “Take Pegasus,” she said. “You’ll reach our daughter more quickly.” The winged horse allowed Andrew to climb onto his back. With two powerful strokes of his wings, he and Andrew were on their way. They quickly caught up with the giant sea monster. It clutched Andromeda tightly as it glided toward the horizon.

He prides himself on writing high-interest books for children and adults alike, so he can talk picture books in kindergarten, ghost stories in high school, and other fun stuff in between. Some of his favorite and most popular works include the Constellations Activity Book, Super Animal Powers, and What Eats That? Ryan was inspired by his nephew A.J. to write Up Where the Stars Are. Ryan is also the co-owner and publisher of Lake 7 Creative, LLC.
