About the author
J Ryan Fenzel is a novelist who employs the character and history of Michigan and the Great Lakes region in his thriller/adventure titles. His debut novel, "Descending From Duty" (Ironcroft 2006) received widespread acclaim as a well-crafted and fast-moving submarine thriller that unfolds in the great inland seas surrounding Michigan. He followed up with "Inherit All Things" (Ironcroft 2009), a rollicking treasure hunt adventure built on historical records and accounts from Michigan's most intriguing ghost town, the buried village of Singapore. Continuing with his trademark blend of Great Lakes fact & fiction, Fenzel wrote "Allied In Irons" (Ironcroft 2012). The second book in the Jack Sheridan series, "Allied In Irons" follows a high stakes search for the wreckage of Northwest Flight 2501, an airliner that crashed into Lake Michigan in 1950 and was never found. Fenzel's story tackles the unsolved aviation mystery and fuses it with elements of intrigue and conspiracy. Working on his fourth novel, Fenzel resides with his wife and daughters in Southeast Michigan
