Hello! My name is Alyssa Ryan! As I'm sure you have guessed, I am the author of 87 Below. I'm 20 years old and currently in my third year of college. My major is Cybersecurity while my minor is Graphic Design.
I would like to start by saying thank you to God. He has given me the passion and ability to write, and for that, I am extremely grateful. I don't know where I would be without this creative outlet.
Secondly, I would like to thank my readers and family for supporting me in this endeavor.

How did this story start?
For 87 Below (and Luminescent, my other story) it started as a dream. It was quite the scare dream featuring me trapped in an elevator going down without halt. I turned my fears into inspiration and created the plot myself.
When did you start writing?
I started writing in middle school, 6th grade. I really enjoyed Casandra Clare's shadow hunter series and I created a fanfiction here with my own characters using the shadow world and weapons. From there I wrote Luminescent which was my first original work. After a long six-year hiatus, I started writing 87 Below and editing/continuing Luminescent all during quarantine (March 2020)
What does writing mean to you?
For me, writing is a way to express my self and capture an audience. I have found that I love to argue. While this can be a toxic trait, I harness it to change minds for the better and use logic rather than emotion. Writing has helped me enhance this and provided n outlet for my opinions and worlds to run free. Its helped me out of a dark place.
