Ryne Thunderhawk grew up in the heart of Texas, where the open skies and nearby waters sparked his deep connection to nature. A lifelong animal lover, Ryne enjoys raising monarch butterflies and riding horses, a passion that echoes his love for the outdoors. This connection to nature mirrors his commitment to advocating for the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. As the founder of the *Skybound Initiative*, Ryne provides free marketing and business counseling to underrepresented small business owners. His love for storytelling has always focused on amplifying others’ voices, but now, through the *Wind Weaver* series, he shares his own. Balancing environmental activism and social advocacy, Ryne leads a group of eco-warriors cleaning up Houston’s waterways. In his downtime, he reads with his local LGBTQ+ book club and continues exploring his Indigenous roots, bringing a deep sense of purpose to everything he does. In the *Wind Weaver* series, Ryne explores themes of nature, colonialism, capitalism, and environmental balance. Following the journey of River, a boy who discovers a mystical world, the series highlights the delicate relationship between man and nature. As Ryne writes his way toward a bestselling novel, he remains committed to representing BIPOC and LGBTQ+ stories, weaving his advocacy into the magical, adventure-filled pages of his work.
