Hi, my name is Norma Rrae and I’m an author. I live in Northern British Columbia, Canada, with my husband and teen daughter and three beautiful dogs. I have three more children/step children that have moved out or live with other parents and a grandson that is a firey redhead (yes, I’m a pretty young grandma.)
My hobbies are, you guessed it, writing, reading, poetry, photography, gardening and fishing. I have an in-wall sized bookshelf helps me stay sane. I reorganize my bookshelf when I find time between working full-time at the hospital, dog walking along rivers, hunting game for food, cooking that food, mothering the kids I feed the food to, cleaning up after my husband and ordering books.
One of the first things I remember learning was to read, read, read if you want to be a good writer. The good, the bad and the ugly. But I’m a very slow reader. So that makes my Goodreads challenge hard. I read every morning and night, however in the evenings I pass out after only about ten minutes of reading.
I’m currently writing my eight novel- Indiscernible, my first horror novel 🙂 I have about a dozen short stories running at any one time plus poems that spill out of me at random.
My first published novel, Cattywampus, by Archway Publishing, a sublet of Simon and Schuster will be released 2021. This is a YA Fantasy, you can click on my page above (NOVELS) to read the blurb.
With great success of my Not Me novel running online, I have begun outlining a second along that same genre (Adult Literary Fiction.)
Online right now is Flee Obscura, a YA SciFi Thriller, a bi-weekly story for ya’ll. Soon I will be setting my recently written serial poems to running every other week from Flee Obscura.
Stay healthy friends ❤
My first publication, White Sheets, is available now for preorder. Click here to purchase the Anthology- Hot Moroccan Nights where White Sheets is featured.
Much love,
Norma Rrae

Good idea making this a query!
Have you considered self-publishing? Someone suggested it to me, kindle version…I’m on the fence.

I have some of my work published with a small house in Ireland, but the majority of them have been self-published. Currently just e-books (as book formatting seems to be beyond my skill set) It’s a little scary, but it isn’t hard.

Pleasure to meet you, fellow writer and fellow slow reader. I wonder if you’re like me – you don’t just read words, you have to direct the movie in your mind? Still, I get through at least one book a month by listening to audio books while I cook. Looking forward to checking out Flee Obscura. 🙂

Congratulations on your perseverance, and getting your work published. All of us writers have to answer the question for ourselves – why do we write, who do we write for? Be well.
