Rena Rene Mangold grew up in a tiny Oregon town, where she fell head over heels for theater, fashion, and writing—basically anything that would let her play dress-up and write about it. She eventually made her way to a fashion school in Los Angeles, where she filled journals with scribbles of movie plots, play ideas, and novel outlines. Finally, she decided her dreams couldn’t hide in the shadows anymore, and To Touch A Reaper became her debut published work!

When she’s not writing, Rena’s likely hanging out with her husband, two kids, and her loyal hound dog in Utah. You’ll find them either gaming like pros or hunting for the coolest rocks around!
