About Rett MacPherson

Rett is also a fabric and bead artist and loves cemeteries, history, wineries, and, obviously, books. She is divorced with two cats and two daughters. Rett works as a customer service representative at a book wholesaler in St. Louis. Rett loosely based “Sleeping the Churchyard Sleep” on her mom’s childhood. She grew up dirt poor in rural West Virginia and then contracted polio when she was just ten. From there, Olivia’s life and Rett’s mom’s life kind of fracture and become quite different. It’s more Rett’s imaginings about what her mom’s life would’ve been like if a number of things had happened. The mystery itself came about after several conversations with her distant cousins and she wanted to try conveying this sense of wonder which comes with being on the outside looking in. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Torie O'Shea Books series, Rett MacPherson 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.
