Experience the American frontier through Cherokee eyes.

Ryan Michael claims only to be a gifted storyteller. Any claims he has of being an author, he credits to his editor, who afforded him an accelerated learning program in the craft. That storytelling instinct, paired with a lifelong fascination with Native American culture and history sparked young by family, became Indigo: A Warrior's Burden—his debut novel and the first in a series following the Cherokee experience through the turmoil of colonial expansion. Ryan lives with his wife, their twin sons, and their dog, who is, without question, his most devoted fan.
