Wanda and her husband, George, reside in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, but spend the winter months in south Texas. She is well known for her versatility, having previously worked in several genres. Wanda has written plays for stage, television and radio and has published short stories and articles. She published a short story collection titled, From A Distance, as well as a novel, Prairie Sailor. Her share of the income from the latter book is donated to leukemia research. Ghost Towns of Manitoba, a social history that Wanda co-authored with Helen Mulligan, won a Margaret McWilliams medal from the Manitoba Historical Society. This work has recently been revised, expanded and republished. Wanda Ryder's short stories acknowledge the greatness of Margaret Laurence's fiction and at the same time speak a new vision of what it was like to be a child and woman in a comparable time and place in Manitoba. Robert Kroetsch Ghost Towns of Manitoba is 'an exciting and valuable addition to Manitoba's written history.' The Winnipeg Free Press 'Social history at its best.' The Brandon Sun 'A well-documented, thoroughly researched, well-written record.' Prairie Fire
