For the A to Z Challenge, I will be featuring up to three
authors per letter (via their last name). Some of the authors responded to my
request for authors to promote. Others, I found. Please check them out and
their books. Thank you!
Our "R" authors
Rains, Christine
Christine Rains is a geek, stay-at-home mom and writer. When she's
not playing games with her son, she's playing games with her friends.
She has four degrees which do not help at all with motherhood, but all
that knowledge makes her a great Jeopardy player. Christine has fourteen short stories published and one
forthcoming. She is a member of RWA. Her writing covers all genres of
dark fiction, but she loves to lose herself in paranormal romance most
of all.

Caddy Rowland grew up in the Midwest with a
stack of books that almost reached the ceiling before she was five. Books, along
with her vivid imagination, have always been her closest friends. She lives in
Minnesota with her husband, who was her high school sweetheart. They are owned
by two parrots. Yes, they can talk, and yes, they can bite! Melanie, the African
Grey has such an extensive vocabulary that Caddy sometimes thinks Melly is
preparing to become an author. After over 20 twenty years in advertising sales,
Caddy decided to pursue her childhood dream of becoming an author in 2011. There
are four books planned for the Gastien series, and many other books in her head.
Now, if only she can learn to type 2000 words a minute... Her goal as an author
is to make readers laugh, cry, think, and become intimately connected with her
main characters. To her, a good main character stays in the mind long after the
story has been read. They should become as real in the mind as the person next
door.
Reich, Cherie
Cherie Reich
is a writer, freelance editor and library assistant. She enjoys writing horror,
fantasy, and mysteries, but she doesn’t let that stop her from trying other
genres. Her short stories have appeared in magazines and anthologies, and her
e-books include Once Upon a December
Nightmare, The Best of Raven and the
Writing Desk, and Defying Gravity.
She is a member of the Virginia Writers Club and Valley Writers and placed
third in Roanoke Valley’s BIG READ writing contest.
