R. J. TheodoreR J Theodore lives in New England where she splits her time between writing, reading, and design. She has been a voracious reader as far back as she can remember, staggering her parents with the piles of new paperbacks she would hunt down in local bokstores. Her broad tastes have lead her to write novels that aren't easily classified into any genre but are guaranteed to be an adventure. She wrote (though never finished) her first novel at age thirteen. It was a Star Trek fan fiction, and it's probably best that it's been lost to the ages (Though her publisher would very much like to read it. - Ed.). As she approached college, her focus switched to illustration and design, but she rediscovered story telling through narrative after graduating from art school. With the release of Flotsam, Theodore will debut her Peridot Shift series of steampunk first contact novels. Read More Read Less
