He decided to drop Lindner from his author name to be able to separate himself from his precious works.
Zachary Ryan also decided that it was best for him to go back to self-publishing. Zachary Ryan went on to publish four novels under his new name: Letters, Lost Friend Found, The Fifth Coupon, and How are you today, Theo Cody?
