Mini Bio (1)

Carrie Ryan was born in Rochester, NY and moved to Los Angeles, CA in 8/1985 where she lived until 12/2005 when she moved to Albuquerque, NM. Although she loved NM, things didn't work out as planned and she moved back to Los Angeles in 6/2006 where she only lasted until 4/2008 when she couldn't take the city anymore. :-) At that time, she moved to Lake Oswego/West Linn, OR and stayed there until 12/2009 when she was called back to Albuquerque. As of this writing (3/9/2014) she is still living and working in Albuquerque and has gotten back into the acting biz in what's known as Tamalewood. The last few years while in Los Angeles, she worked for Sony Pictures Entertainment, mostly at Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Carrie's life changed dramatically in 1996 thanks to healer Eric Pearl, and she became very psychic (had an ability since birth but he really blew open her chakras) and started being able to communicate with "dead people" and eventually started trance channeling. Numerous spiritual experiences sent her on a whole new path in life. In 2007 Warner Bros. chose her and 5 other psychics for a TV series pilot called "Gifted". But, acting and singing are in her blood and an important part of who she is. She is also a major animal lover and has cat parent. You can also find Carrie on Twitter with the username Atheria, which is her "soul name" and a name by which many friends know her.

The Forest of Hands and Teeth's By: Carrie Ryan

Mary lives in a town ruled by the Sisterhood and the Guardians. The village is surrounded by fences; beyond lies only forest. There are only three ways through the fence: gates that open on paths that are themselves enclosed by fencing, expelling those who've been infected. Where the two paths lead, no one knows, for the Sisterhood says the village is the only human habitation left on Earth.

Mary has been raised on stories passed down from her great-great-great-grandmother about life before the coming of zombies. She is especially fascinated by the ocean and believes if she could reach it, she would be free.

Her adventure starts when there is a breaching in the fence. Mary must escape, find true love, and friendship while figuring out the mystery behind the other gates and fences. After a sad, hectic, twisted turn of events she finds the ocean, but it isn't at all what she expected.
