    Read my short story!!
    Total amateur guys. I barely gave this story work but eh have a read.

    I also need a good last name for my character, "Ryan" isn't final also. Basically main character's name can be changed I'm still adding paragraphs.


    Any tips/constructive criticisms are welcome

    My favourite part was the bit where he peeked through the venetians

    On a serious note though, this line needs major work - “Call me Ryan” said Ryan.

    Quite interesting though, worth seeing where it goes. Ryan is just a stones through away from Reacher though, ring any bells?

    I find common names boring so...
    Ryan Albert, Ryan Monica, Ryan Hemington
    but if you'd rather...
    Ryan Walton, Ryan Webster, Ryan Aston, Ryan Robinson
    Just some quick ideas off the top of my head. Hope they help

    Ryan is just a placeholder for the moment.

    My friend might do some illustrations im going for a noir type story here with occult. A friend of mine said that my description sounds alot like the Dresden books. Never read them but eh I dont care if they're similar

    Lee Child writes the Jack Reacher series. Good books, you'll like them judging by your story.

    Oh and I'm no author, but if the sentence is "Call my Ryan" you probably don't need to identify the speaker
