Short Bio

Best-selling author, spouse of geek, mother of cats. She/her. Owns a lot of things that need to be plugged in.

Medium bio

A three-times bestselling author of five books and fifty-plus short stories, Ruthanne Reid has lived in her head since childhood, when she wrote her first story about a pony princess and a genocidal snake-kingdom and used up her mom’s red typewriter ribbon in the process.

As an adult, she has led a convention panel on world-building, taught courses on plot and character development, and been the keynote speaker for the Write Practice Retreat.

When she isn’t reading, writing, or reading about writing, Ruthanne enjoys old cartoons with her husband, horror podcasts, and two cats, and dreams of living on an island beach far, far away.

P.S. Red is still her favorite color.

Long Bio

Ruthanne Reid eschews most labels. Except for being a Generation X-er; a musician with baggage; a self-taught graphic artist who designs her own covers; a warrior wrestling arthritis not unlike the Nemean lion; a rabid shipper who’s too smart to lay out precisely which ships because of the wars; and an avid reader.

You know. Unlabelable.

A fanfic writer and a three-times bestselling author of five books and fifty-plus short stories, Ruthanne Reid has lived in her head since childhood, when she wrote her first story about a pony princess and a genocidal snake-kingdom and used up her mom’s red typewriter ribbon in the process. As an adult, she has led a convention panel on world-building, taught courses on plot and character development, and been the keynote speaker for the Write Practice Retreat.

When she isn’t reading, writing, or reading about writing, Ruthanne enjoys horror podcasts, and dreams of living on an island beach far, far away. A loving mom to two cats, she is happily married to a fellow geek who loves good stories and great games as much as she does. Between the two of them, they own a lot of things that need to be plugged in.
