Ryan Shurtliff is a passionate geologist and artist who brings stories to life through comics, children’s books, and novels.

As a proud father of 6 I have always wanted to find stories for those kids that would be exciting, action packed adventures, but without the immoral themes. Every young boy or girl needs role models, individuals that demonstrate the best way to handle hard situations with valor. My work includes the illustrated ‘WoolaBulla’ series written by Jeff Thurman. The ‘Ros Adventures’ graphic novels and associated mini comics. The ‘Living Steel Saga’ novel series which explores a gripping sci-fi where leadership and courage are key to unraveling a mysterious past in a frozen world made habitable only by physics-bending mechanoid armors.
