Born and raised in Colorado, Rina knew she wanted to be an author in the third grade. When a writing project meant as a gift for her brother exploded into a 400 page manuscript, she decided to take the next step. Publishing Isle of the Dark on her 19th birthday, she overcame her fear of speaking in public and went on tour. With five publications under her belt, and several more on the way, this young author does not intend on slowing down any time soon.
