Hello, my name is Rachel Aaron, author of Nice Dragons Finish Last, the best-selling writing productivity book 2k to 10k, and The Legend of Eli Monpress, published by Orbit Books. I'm also the author of Fortune's Pawn, the first book in the rollicking fun Paradox Science Fiction trilogy (now complete) under the name Rachel Bach. Confused yet? I know I am!
I was born and raised in Atlanta, but I currently live a lovely, nerdy, bookish life in the mountains of Colorado with my faster-than-the-speed-of-light son, perpetually understanding husband, and overflowing library. I write full time, all the time, but when my family can drag me away from my own books, I love reading fantasy (urban and traditional), Romance (paranormal and Regency), and Science Fiction (all kinds). I also enjoy video games, Minecraft, anime, manga, hanging out at conventions, and overdone, epic things.
Other than my fiction, the internet knows me best for writing very fast. The best way to get to know me is to read my books, my blog, or follow me on Twitter. If you don't feel like being all social media-y, I've also done several interviews, which I've linked below for your convenience.
If you have any specific questions about me, my writing process, or my books, please feel free to contact me, and thank you for reading. It's readers like you who enable me earn a living doing the best job in the world. Thank you!
Yours sincerely,
-Rachel
