Rissa Blakeley is the author of a fantasy paranormal series, Corvidae Guard, and a post-apocalyptic series, Shattered Lives, which has been adapted into graphic novel form.

As a native New Yorker, Rissa is now a Georgia transplant, who is completely addicted to black coffee and La Croix. Her days are packed with characters screaming for more scenes, cats living up to their Harry Potter namesakes, a lazy dog, a kid in college, who's channeling their inner Oscar Wilde, and a Viking husband, who finds her puns less than funny. When Rissa isn’t writing, she can be found procrastinating on social media.
