Biography

Ritter grew up in a ranch-style house in Pennsylvania.[3] Before becoming a full-time novelist Ritter worked as a journalist, editor and graphic designer.[4][5]

Writing career

As of 2020 Ritter has released four novels as Sager and three novels under his real name, the latter of which make up the Kat Campbell series.[6] Ritter has also released one novel under the penname Alan Finn, Things Half in Shadow.[7] He referenced the choice to write under the name Finn, stating that "since we were looking for a new publisher, one could argue that editors would be willing to go with someone who had a clean slate, rather than a critically acclaimed author with a spotty sales record."[8]
