Rae Else is an Urban Fantasy author, most at home in the spaces between reality and the imaginary. When in the real world, she resides with her husband on their sailboat. The Arete Trilogy is her Young Adult, Urban Fantasy debut. Her most recent series, The Dark Between, is a decadently dark YA Fantasy, featuring a whole cast of paras—shifters, vamps, witches, mages, fae... and lots of soul magic.Rae studied Classics at university and a lot of her stories draw on mythology and ancient worlds. In her twenties, Rae worked as a teacher and now writes full time. When not reading or writing, Rae loves to poodle about anchorages, searching for inspiration. She finds the big blue to be like a good book—a portal to a different world.
