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

As a native New Yorker, Rissa is now a Georgia transplant who is completely addicted to coffee and La Croix, obsessively listening to songs on repeat. Her days are packed with characters screaming for more scenes, cats being cats, and a lazy dog. Her husband and adult kid find her puns less than funny. When Rissa isn't writing, she can be found procrastinating on social media.
