Ryan Leigh Dostie is a novelist turned soldier turned novelist. As an Army Persian-Farsi/Dari Linguist in Military Intelligence, she was deployed to Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom, where she translated very little, because they mostly speak Arabic in Iraq. After being wowed by the brilliant efficiency of the Army, Ryan left the military world for academic pursuits. She’s studied abroad a few times, backpacked through several countries, learned a couple of languages, and wrote a whole lot. She holds an MFA in fiction writing and a bachelor’s degree in history from Southern Connecticut State University. She lives in New Haven, Connecticut with her husband, one wondrously wild daughter, a very large Alaskan Malamute, and a love-obsessed Australian Shepherd mix.
