Rain Carrington started writing when she was just a teenager in Trinidad, Colorado but didn’t start writing M/M romance until much later. Through the years many of her gay male friends told stories of heartache and the struggle to find “the one” so she told them stories, fantasies all about them and their future cowboy, fireman, biker or policeman. When she found a writing site that encouraged her to write them down she started what was an adventure like she never had before.
Her first story, Cabin fever, about a young man searching for love and finding it wrapped in a member of a mafia family gained her readers who cheered for more. She knew then that she had found her place in the world. To make stories of love and kink that not only her readers but she could get lost in as well.
Rain now lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado but has traveled most of the US. Her last road trip to San Francisco gave her characters still coming out…no pun intended…in her newer stories. Rain has severe scoliosis which makes it hard for her to do all the things she used to love but it did give her the time to write that she never had before. She fights for lgbt rights from her home as best she can now and keeps in close contact with her friends that fight on two good legs to point them where they should go. She is a fervent believer that one door never closes without another opening so there are no limits she can’t get past.
Of all the people in the world no one has encouraged and supported her like her friends, many of them writers themselves, and her family. There is never a dull moment in her home where laughter is in the air 24/7 and everyone knows to avoid the computer screen when she sits in front of it. They never know what kind of beautiful man love they may see. Rain calls it research, they call it, “there she goes again!”

Reviews of The Prince and the Pirate by Rain Carrington
A fantastic book with heavy triggers..
A great start to the book as baby Daya and his family make a new beginning on the mountains. Fast forward and now older Daya is out in the world proving himself a man.
An adventure until Daya sees Alastar and the two form a bond.
This is Not an easy book to read and not for the faint hearted. scenes of death and murder and rape. I tried to read this but I got to a point I couldn't read further with the triggers. I would've given this book a big 5 star as I loved the feelings and emotions coming from the characters. I loved Daya and poor Alastar as they'd formed a bond together.
Daya was a cat shifter with a special birth mark just like his mum. At now 20 Daya wanted to be a scout but being a prince he had to get around the queens rules first. The pirates are the bad people who loved stealing from them.
Alastar was nothing like his father and the rest of the pirates raping and killing innocents.
Wow! This was a fantastic book! The premise sounded really intriguing, but I really wasn't prepared for the richness and depth this book had to offer! This book is unlike the majority of the romances I read in that it goes way beyond just the immediate romance taking place and whatever plotline that surrounds it. This book feels like life. Like really living through the experiences and struggles of the characters. I read adventure and excitement. There was bonding and love. And there was horror and sadness. And this book makes you feel all the emotions!
The world of this book takes place twenty years after the majority of humanity was killed off by a deadly virus. The people who survived it struggle to survive in what the world has become. And like The Walking Dead, you have the good hearted people that work hard together to not simply survive, but live as comfortably and peacefully as can be managed. And then you have the evil people who murder, rape, steal, and destroy everything that doesn't directly benefit them. There were scenes that made me cringe in their cruelty and suffering. Scenes that made me angry and long to see justice done. And scenes of love and bonding that made me smile and feel happiness.
This book is rich in story, not just for the main characters, but some supporting characters as well. You definitely feel like you are on the journey with them, fighting alongside them, cheering them on. There were lots of twists I didn't expect, things I completely didn't see coming, and it made the story exciting, suspenseful, and the world all the more rich and vast. This was a great book and I definitely recommend giving it a read! 5 stars.
WOW! WOW!! WOW!!!
RAIN CARRINGTON has done it again! This is the aftermath of the world after a world wide disaster. Survivors are picking up the pieces. Trying to live in a world gone crazy. Most living in fear and grief. Pirates are praying on the weaker small groups of survivors. Daya is the son of a strong woman survivor Teresa. She and her partner Julian are building a safe place and community where survivors can live and recover from their experiences on the roads to get there. Alastar was born in a Pirates encampment. Always abused and beaten by his Father who is the leader of this horrid group of humanity. He's committed unspeakable things to keep from being killed but doesn't think he can go on. Daya and Alastar meet completely by chance but feel a deep connection. After talking for long hours Daya described a world Alastar couldn't imagine even existed. This book kept me completely on edge. The fate of these two young men is never clear but you just can't put it down. These two get a happily for now but the second book is where all the questions will be answered. I can't wait to see how all this is resolved. This book is captivating and makes me happy for the world we continue to call our own. Things change in mere seconds and we all need to keep that in mind. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!
