Ryan Coughlin is an odd duck born in Watertown, Wisconsin--the biggest farm town in two 

counties. A place engrained in German-Irish heritage and dairy farms. He has never tipped or 

milked a cow. His love for entertainment beamed him from Wisconsin to Southern California, where 

he resides with his wife and two sons. He writes books and movie scripts. In addition to "Right 

Handed Lefty" Coughlin's horror novel "The Landlord" and short story "Off the Rails" have been

 published under a penname William Press. Although he writes with two names, he's just one guy. 

The nom de plume is an exercise in branding. William Press tells dark tales; Ryan Coughlin brings 

the light.
