Renée Fleury is a professional photographer who resides in western Connecticut. She has been a writer for as long as she can remember, dreaming up tales and poetry that entertain many. She uses her gift for storytelling in her photography, and can often be found on the job at many cultural and cosplay events around her local area.
For a writer, inspiration comes in many forms, from all areas life. Most notably for Renée, the outdoors and her son, Dante have inspired her deeply, lifting her imagination to new heights. Renée is a proud member of the steampunk community, and affectionately known by her stage name, Sky Captain Hawke. Building Steam is the third novel she has written, but the first to be published, and it will be followed by many more.
