WHO:

Growing up with ghosts, native Texan and author Raquel Rodriguez is used to things that go "bump" 24/7. With a passion for Science Fiction, anything paranormal, Space Opera, and romance, she blends these elements into passionate stories with twists of action and suspense. Raquel has studied, taught and lectured about Parapsychology for over 25 years and utilizes Astrology, Tarot and Vogler's 12 steps to plot her stories. Her personal motto is, "Never give up, never surrender!" from one of her favorite movies. When not writing (her cat usually supervises from her lap) she can be found at SciFi conventions, Renaissance Faires, teaching Belly Dance or experimenting with a new chocolate recipe.
