Rae Vasquez was born in Enterprise, Alabama. Her family moved around the US a lot during her childhood and Rae was able to overcome many challenges. She graduated from high school and joined the United States Army, where she served honorably for seven years before she was medically retired. As a disabled veteran, Rae is a member of the Wounded Warrior Alumni. She supports all veterans looking to heal through writing and would love to hear from them. Rae lost her father to alcoholism and homlessness, so has a personal connection to the homeless community. Rae takes every opportunity to donate her books to the homeless community as often as possible. In the future she hopes to start a non-profit in order to get more books into the hands of homeless shelters. She believes reading can be a great escape for anyone, in any circumstance, but especially for those who don’t have much of anything.
