A Kiss of Ashen Twilight by Rae Lori

Publication Information

Biography

Throughout her writing career, Rae has written comic book and film related articles which have appeared in online publications such as Comic Stack, Suite101, CinemaGap and Dark Moon Rising. As a result, her alma mater’s English course chose one of her articles as an example for how to write an article. She also served as editor and contributing writer of her school newsletter.  For her contributions to the newsletter and her leadership, she has won various Success & Leadership awards sponsored by her alma mater where she received her BA in Media Arts & Animation.

Her manuscript, Hotel Sunset, won an Honorable Mention award in the 73rd Annual Writer’s Digest Writing Competition. Under various pen names, she has written books, novellas and short stories that run the genre gamut of science fiction, fantasy, short roman noir and paranormal romance and many more waiting to drip onto the page.

A fan of David Lynch and Alfred Hitchcock, she also has a love for film, vampires and visual storytelling which she couples with the art of the written word to tell her stories. While penning her works, she loves to create artwork that explores her strong female characters and the men in their lives.

Recently she has contributed to the world-building chapter for the upcoming The Complete Guide to Writing Paranormal to be released this fall from Dragon Moon Press. She also teaches an in-world novel writing course for aspiring novelists every Saturday at 6 p.m. at TLE. Walk-ins are definitely welcome. :-)

Off the Shelf: ToryLynn Writer

20 Sep

Kghia is on her own for Episode 14, as Simeon is away, and she speaks with actual life and Second Life author and writer ToryLynn Writer. ToryLynn is one of the people behind “The INKsters”, which is one of the largest support and resource groups for writers in Second Life.

Unfortunately, due to technical problems, the first 4 minutes of the interview were lost, so the podcast picks up with Kghia and ToryLynn discussing some of the many programs on which Tory works to support budding writers and poets.

The first season of Off the Shelf comes to a close with Episode 14. Kghia, Simeon, Otenth and Gabi are taking a few months off before launching our second season.

You can listen to Off the Shelf via any of the following methods:

  • Direct link to the show on Archive.org, where you can listen to it as a stream or download the audio file directly
  • Subscribe on iTunes
  • Subscribe using our RSS feed

Thank you for listening to Off the Shelf!
