Annelise Ryan


Annelise Ryan
Annelise Ryan is a pseudonym of author Beth Amos, used for her Monster Hunter Mystery series.

Annelise also penned the often hilarious 12- book Mattie Winston Mystery series featuring the adventures of a wryly cynical nurse-turned-coroner in a small Wisconsin town.

As Allyson K. Abbott, she authored a 6-book series known as the Mack’s Bar Mysteries (a bit of cheeky fun there with the initials on that nom de plume!)

And as Beth Amos, she has written more than 200 published articles, worked as a book reviewer for Barnes & Noble, and written five thrillers, three of which were published by HarperCollins in the late ’90s. She is an active member of Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, and International Thriller Writers. She is a registered nurse whose past work experience has included everything from birth (obstetrics) to death (hospice). She recently retired after 20 years in the ER and enjoys several side hobbies, including competitive Scrabble, working with stained glass, and gardening.
