Garry Ryan was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, where he lives today. He received a B.Ed. and a Diploma in Educational Psychology from the University of Calgary, and now teaches junior high and high school students. His first Detective Lane mystery, Queen’s Park, sprung from a desire to write a mystery with an emphasis on the rich diversity and unique locations of his hometown. The Lucky Elephant Restaurant is the second title in his Detective Lane Mystery Series and winner of the 2007 Lambda Literary Award for Gay Mystery.
