As a military journalist, Rachel A. Brune wrote and photographed the Army and its soldiers for five years. When she moved on, she didn’t quit writing stories with soldiers in them, just added werewolves, sorcerers, a couple evil mad scientists, and a Fae or two. Now a full-time author and writing coach living in California, Rachel enjoys poking around old military posts and listening for the ghosts of old soldiers … or writing them into her latest short story. Her love of ghosts and all things spooky led her to found Crone Girls Press, an indie horror publisher dedicated to the dark side of speculative fiction. She lives with her spouse, two daughters, one reticent cat, and two flatulent rescue dogs.
