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, Ruthanne Reid 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.
Author of two series with five books and fifty-plus short stories, Ruthanne 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.
When she isn’t reading, writing, or reading about writing, Ruthanne enjoys old cartoons with her husband and two cats, and dreams of living on an island beach far, far away.
P.S. Red is still her favorite color.
Long Bio
Would you believe this third-person intro is being written by the very same individual about whom it is written? I know. Completely blows her mind, too.
A three-times bestselling author, Ruthanne Reid 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.
She is author of two series with five books and fifty-plus short stories, and 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.
One of those pesky fanfiction authors who made good, she eschews most labels. Except for being:
- a Generation X-er (or maybe Xennial, according to some guy’s webpage)
- a musician who loves music but also carries a ton of baggage about it
- a self-taught graphic artist who designs her own covers
- a spoonie who wrestles Fibromyalgia not unlike the Nemean lion
- a Christian who hesitates to use the word because too many of them are crazy but Jesus is pretty great
- a rabid shipper who’s too smart to lay out precisely which ships because of the wars
- a caretaker of pretty ill folks
- and an avid reader, like you do.
You know. Unlabelable.
When she isn’t reading, writing, or reading about writing, Ruthanne enjoys old cartoons with her husband and two cats, and dreams of living on an island beach far, far away. Recently a resident of Long Island City and currently a resident of Texas, Ruthanne is a loving mom to two cats and 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.
