edit data

R. Ann Humphries is a lifelong science fiction and fantasy addict. Unable to find a portal to Narnia in her closet, she started inventing her own fantasy worlds and storylines. She graduated from Gardner-Webb University with a BA in Creative Writing. She lives in Atlanta with her two weenie dogs, Smith and Wesson.

Humphries was introduced to the world of science fiction and fantasy by her father, who made her sit down and watch every episode of the original Star Trek series at a young, impressionable age. Hopelessly hooked from that point on, she moved through dozens of sci-fi/fantasy television shows, books, movies, and video games like a true addict.

I loved the island concept of Gont, how nature itself could be the very thing that kept different people groups from interacting.

The story of Sedich didn't really have a single major inspiration. I've always had an interest in racism, sexism, and class divisions - the concepts that change us from being one race to groups divided into "us" and "them." I wanted to explore that concept in Sedich, so that was the beginnings of my story. I knew it had to be a fantasy book because I'm a huge fantasy nerd, so I made Lusiartha fantastical then tried to imagine what "us" versus "them" problems that society would have. Thus a story was born. (less)

I usually scream at the computer. And then, if that didn't help (which is usually doesn't), I go play a video game or watch TV. The best thing for me is to stop thinking about whatever it is I'm stuck on and just clear my head. If I force myself to keep writing through it, it's usually bad writing. Clearing my head gives me the chance to have a good idea later, and get excited about writing all over again.(less)

R.’s Quotes

“Humankind cannot gain something without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. This is Alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.”
