ⓘ About Rae Carson
Well, to keep it short, Rae Carson is a self professed nerd who happens to be a full-time adult novelist. She lives in Arizona with two of her pet kittens and writer hubby CC Finlay. Unlike Carson, Finlay is into Science Fictions. Carson claims that she has been a storyteller right from the start. When the lady was just eight and tried catching up with a Nancy Drew novel in her school library and got late for her class in the process. She cooked a neat little story of how constipated she was and that it was the reason for her getting stuck in the loo. And since she was always making up stories as child sometime to save herself sometimes to add on a little drama to life, it was but obvious for her to become a novelist. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Fire and Thorns Books series, Rae Carson has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
