: About Me

Hello, My name is Ryan Brenner. I live in Pennsylvania where I work as a teacher and tutor for elementary school students.  Recently, I have discovered a passion to write, especially when it comes to telling stories.  I enjoy creative writing over informational articles, but I also enjoy writing essays on various topics, as well as talking about my traveling experience (which are not many at this point).

Currently, I am working on a novel entitled the Street Thief's Apprentice, and I am trying to pull together ideas for another novel entitled Yard Work.  Both of these can be viewed through the Helium Zone links below.  In addition I am currently writing a piece about the love of Christ, which tells my experience of Christ's love.
