b. 1970 · Lakewood, Colorado, USA

Aaron Michael Ritchey is an American author, born in 1970 in Lakewood, Colorado, who studied English literature and world history at Santa Clara University before teaching middle and high school and working in healthcare. He describes his work as "genre fiction with a literary twist," and his early novels experimented with postmodern fantasy influenced by David Lynch and Tolkien alongside Hindu and Christian themes, before he shifted toward more accessible storytelling. He is known for the young-adult American Dragons novels, the post-apocalyptic Juniper Wars series (Long Live the Suicide King, The Cunning Man), and the LitRPG-adjacent Shadowcroft Academy for Dungeons trilogy. Self-billed as an "Author-Speaker-Demon Hunter," Ritchey lives on the Great Plains with his wife and two children.
