About the Author:
Euphoric Wonderland is Ryan Becker’s seminal literary work which was
largely inspired by the relationship he has with his parents, both of whom
are poets in their own rights and words. His father is a self-taught
classical pianist, as well as an avid Shakespeare fan and aficionado.
Those two elements of the fine arts were instilled in Ryan at an early age
and were quickly absorbed through his father’s reading to him about famous
musicians and writers.
As an avid collector of vinyl records, upon hearing the music of The
Beatles for the first time, specifically their Abbey Road album, Ryan knew
his destiny was to write. “Every step of this life’s journey is a learning
experience,” proclaims Mr. Becker. He further adds, “The Beatles taught me
how not to have hate in my heart, why we must help people in need, and to
never hesitate to openly express my feelings in any
situation.”
Ryan credits his even-tempered, soft-spoken mother for his development as
a human being. He tries to emulate her cool-under-pressure manner as well
as her kind and empathetic heart, which she shares with anyone in need. It
is those characteristics he’s inherited that allow him to express himself
through his writing.
Ryan’s childhood carried with it some undeniably emotional bumps and
bruises, explaining “Everyone has struggles, and many have their inner
demons. The only way for me to exorcize them is by taking them out of my
brain and putting them down on paper.”
Writing can be a wonderful escape from reality as well as a fantastic way
of feeling comfort within one’s true reality.
Watching reruns of Smallville on repeat, Ryan asserts that the character
of Clark Kent, portrayed by Tom Welling, has taught him a few things about
growing up. For example, it helped him learn how to speak and interact
better with others—trust in people who treat him right and never disregard
someone who has his best interests at heart.
It is why he proclaims, “Don’t ever let anyone take a torch to your
dreams. Use that fire to motivate you to achieve your greatness, no matter
in which arena you might be endeavoring!”
