Burnout and Big Decisions - Interview with Crime Thriller Writer OMJ Ryan

The Midlife Reshape

It's episode98.

This week I share some thoughts on overcoming people pleasing and am joined by Owen Ryan, aka OMJ Ryan published author and crime fiction writer. Owen has a great story of burnout that led to him pursuing a dream to write. He shares some great insights into what shaped his journey and some takeaways for anyone seeking to follow their own dream. Owen has published 11 books in the 'Silent...' range of crime/ serial killer books featuring the lead character - DCI Jane Phillips. Loved talking to Owen about his journey and i'm a little jealous of his writing prowess and success too!

Owen spent the first twenty years of his career working in the radio and entertainment industry across the UK and Australia, collaborating with household names, celebrities and music icons and accumulating a host of international writing and radio awards, before taking the leap into full time writing in 2018.

Since then, he’s published 11 titles including an Amazon UK best-seller and sold close to quarter of a million copies of his Detective Jane Phillips series.

Born and bred in Yorkshire, he’s lived and worked in a variety of cities across the UK including Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield and Glasgow, as well as Sydney and Melbourne in Australia, before settling in the north east of England with his wife Kim and young son Vaughan.
