Rikki Vaence is an author that enjoys exploring worlds with shadows lingering in the corners, twisting the shadows and light to bring out the real monsters hiding out in plain sight. Rikki is inspired by those of the unusual and the unknown, journeying with creatures that haven’t had their stories told before. As long as she is surrounded by support and travels to a new world or two along the way (through writing and books of course), Rikki’s muse awakens and hungers to write. Other than writing, Rikki loves playing video games (mostly Hollow Knight and Undertale), reading many books, going on walks, and spending time with family, those who are accepting Rikki’s insanity.
