Rachel Catherine Lee, originally from the Granite State, now makes her home in the "Crossroads of Downeast Maine." She loves the ocean, but it is an unusual and sometimes difficult area to live, with its long winters and rampant seasonal tourism. Fortunately her favorite season is fall, when most of the tourists have returned home and she can exist peacefully in the terrible autumnal beauty of coastal Maine, whose physical isolation she both relishes and seeks to diminish.
She has always loved reading, from her first words on road signs to faerie tales, classical literature, modernist poetry, and graphic novels. Even now, she compulsively reads license plates as she drives. She has no particular favorite genre or style, but loves writing that is experimental, self-reflective, mysterious, and / or speaks to the imagination. Having recently decided that she was indeed in love with language, she is currently working towards a Master's and is toying with the idea of a PhD, so that she may spend the rest of her life engaging the written word.
She has many hobbies and interests, including, but not limited to: pugs, movies (especially those based on comic books), faeries, music, gardening, hiking, watching documentaries, side-show performers, and Cirque de Soleil.
