Hi #WritingCommunity!

I'm Rae. I'm a 25x published education author and newspaper columnist. I also write swoony fantasy and space opera featuring tons of romantic tension, strange magic systems, chronically ill heroines, and a little spice!

Dear Publishing Industry,

This is where you double down. This is when you publish POC, LGBTQ, trans, and disabled authors more than ever.

Don’t be complicit.

How do y'all look good in your post-work out pics? I look like a deceased-after-electrocution squirrel 🫠

I like romantasy, but what I love is RomantaSCI. Give me star-crossed lovers separated by the vast expanse of space. Give me swirling nebulas, snubfighters shooting into the inky darkness, the rulers of worlds, the human condition set against the backdrop of neon.
