About the author

Rue Sparks

<strong>Writer | Artist<br>​​​​​​​</strong><br>Rue Sparks is a composite of neurosis and nonsense held together by duct tape and sheer stubbornness. A widow, disabled, and queer, they traverse the equally harsh and cathartic landscape where trauma and healing align to create stories that burrow into the hearts and minds of their readers.&nbsp;In addition to short story collection <em>The Stars Will Guide Us Back</em>, Sparks has authored the novella <em>Daylight Chasers</em>, and the magical realism/mystery novel <em>The Fable of Wren</em>. They live in Noblesville, Indiana in the USA with their sweet senior support dog and cantankerous cat.
