If you love fiction, the Brewing Fiction Podcast is your source for the inspirations, tools and techniques that script the stories you love. Our guests are the creators of your new favourite stories and are here to share their journeys. They will tell the stories behind their stories. From the challenges to their successes, our guests will give you an inside look into their lives and the worlds they create. Join author and host Keith M. Leonard as he opens the covers and reveals the works and the worlds of your new favourite writers.
Every author has a story to tell—not just within the pages of their work, but about the journey of bringing that book to life. In today’s episode, I’m exploring the evolution of my newest thriller, The Wolves, which is officially scheduled for release on May 1, 2026.
To give you a look at how this book's creation began, I’m sharing a deep dive into the original character arc of David Keller, which sets the stage for the events that unfold throughout the book.

Chris Ryan - S2E3
Chris Ryan was raised in Bay Bulls, one of Newfoundland’s oldest fishing communities, after being born in St. John's. From January 1969 to January 2024, his family ran Ryan's Funeral Home, which served the Southern Shore. As a result, community service was an ongoing part of his life. His most recent psychological thriller, The Birder and the Undertaker, uses both this past and his passion for bird watching to help set the scene.
Chris dropped out of school in grade seven after repeating the year twice. In 2001, he was diagnosed with severe ADHD and bipolar disorder. Despite these obstacles, he started writing in 2013 and published his first book in November 2014. Since then, he has released a total of seven novels.
From the first moment we spoke, it was clear that he loves writing and telling stories, and you can hear this excitement in the upcoming episode.
