A personal message from the author:

I wrote “I Was A Teenage Know Nothing” to share my experience of growing up as a teenager in the early 1990's. It was written for adults and teenagers of today to enjoy. In the book, the struggles and triumphs of a young man's life, as well as fun times with friends, are easy to relate to. It is a heartfelt and comedic (at times) retrospective.

— Ryon Ownbey

Dating, motorcycles, car races, and The Movie Theater Club await you. Life can seem rough for a young man growing up. There are lessons to be learned, experiences to be had, and emotions to be tested. Not all of which will have a positive outcome.

Through the lens of youth, all may seem over-dramatic at times. He must rely on his soul, and then what he assumes is instinct, to guide him along the way. Take a journey back to a time before Amazon, smartphones, and streaming media dared exist.

A time known as the early 1990's. It may seem simple today, but to someone who has lived it, the world surrounding a teenage-know-nothing could be turbulent and confusing. Patience and optimism must be found somewhere and somehow along the way.

The book is available in illustrated or non-illustrated versions!
