Rachel Craft & Wild Magic
This time on the Rocky Mountain Writer we have another writer who contributed to the RMFW short story anthology Found, published last September.
Rachel Craft, who writes as Rachel Delaney, had a story called “Every Drop of Light” included in that new anthology.
Rachel Craft is a full-time engineer and part-time writer. After deciding to pursue writing as a second career, she discovered RMFW and never looked back. Her short fiction has appeared in Cricket magazine, and her first middle grade novel, Wild Magic, was a finalist in the RMFW Colorado Gold contest.
On the podcast, Rachel talks about the distinctions between young adult and middle grade fiction and what sparked her interest in speculative fiction, beginning with a story she wrote about her fourth-grade math teacher’s evil twin brother. She also talks about how moving from state to state as a child may have helped her develop her storytelling talents.
Rachel lives in Boulder with her fiancé and Jack Russell terrier.
