Rae Smith
Biography
Sitting down to write this a bio freaks me out a little bit. It's like standing up in public and having to speak, and you look around the room, open your mouth to speak and all that comes out is a scratchy squeak. That’s me. I’m shy. Always have been and most likely always will be.
But, anyway, here goes.
I am in my forties, and I live in England with my wonderful husband, my three amazingly brilliant children, and my beloved laptop. No pets.
I've been making up stories almost since I learned how to talk. When I was little, my family used to call them my ‘tall tales’ but I remained undeterred and carried on telling them, eventually writing them down when I discovered pretty notebooks and pens. I love writing. I have always enjoyed sharing my imagination with other people. And if I go long periods without writing, I get a little testy, according to my family.
I started out posting my stories for free on the internet – mainly LiveJournal, but then, through the encouragement of some of my readers I decided to pursue the idea of getting published via the eBook route. My readers are some of the most loving, loyal, and awesome people. They’ve stood by me through all my doubts and worries, and kept me on track when the panic sets in. If it wasn’t for them, I’d still be dealing with an inert sense of inferiority, and be plagued with self-doubt.
I like to write in a wide variety of genres and cover a host of subjects, but my heart will always be with erotic romance. There's something magical about two people (be they gay, straight, or in-between) finding each other and fighting against all odds to reach happily ever after. If my characters and their stories can touch just one other person--can take his mind off his troubles or make her day seem just a little bit brighter--then I feel like I've done something important.
