Rae James

Rae James is a New York–based romance author, UX designer, and mom. After having her child, she picked up reading as a way to step away from screens and do something just for herself. What started as a small act of self-care quickly became something much bigger—she fell in love with the way a good book could provide an escape, even just for a little while. Reading carried her through some of her darkest seasons, and eventually, she started writing stories of her own.

She writes about people who are quietly surviving—messy, guarded, trying their best. Mental health and healing are at the heart of everything she writes.

She hopes her books can offer even one reader a moment of escape, a reason to keep going, or just something to look forward to.
