edit data

R.M. Archer has been an avid reader since the time she could first make out words, and has always been a lover of story. That interest developed into a love of writing when she was seven (though those first attempts have long-since been incinerated), and she's been pursuing a career as an author ever since. Archer believes that art can change the culture and aims to write YA speculative fiction that thoughtfully explores a variety of worldviews through the lens of her own Christian perspective.

In addition to writing fiction, Archer keeps up a non-fiction blog of writing tips and book reviews, and worldbuilding is her favorite topic to blog about. ...more

What Does it Mean to “Read with Discernment”?

If you’re a Christian reader, you may have heard the term “reading with discernment” tossed around, or something like it. Read carefully. Choose your books wisely. And this is good advice. The problem is… it’s vague. What does it mean to read with discernment?

Ultimately, I think reading with discernment will lead to different readers choosing different books. There is no one-size-fits-all result w

“It seems you have saltwater and stardust in your veins.”

“Ryuu wrapped her in his arms again and held her tight. “I don’t know what to believe, Duyên. I don’t know how likely you are to block out the dragons again. I don’t know what Gossalu’s plan is, or if she even has one. But I hope. I hope that this will pass. I hope that both of us are afraid for nothing. And I will love you whether hope or fear wins out.”
― R.M. Archer, Calligraphy Guild

“Duyên watched Lonpaia’s deft fingers work for a moment. “Why are the gods so fickle?”
“Why are men so fickle? It’s simply the way of things.”
“But shouldn’t gods be better?” Duyên looked back up at Lonpaia.
Lonpaia paused her work and turned toward Duyên. “That’s what we all wish for. And yet I can’t help but think they’re simply men with the powers of the universe at their fingertips.”
― R.M. Archer, Calligraphy Guild

“He’s not going to applaud us for becoming famous during our lifetimes; He’s going to ask us how we used our spotlight to bring Him glory.
