About the Writer

Riley Kane works fulltime and writes whenever possible. When she graduated with her masters, she thought she would finally have the hours she longed to devote to her writing.

Boy, was that a mistake.

Turns out that working full time and finding sufficient blocks of time to write are harder than it seems. But, through sheer force of will and a whole lot of tea, she’s making it work (and funding Private Selection’s black tea line).

This blog was inspired by the ongoing writing journey and the black box that seems to stand between writing a thing and seeing it published. “In the course of events” is a phrase Riley likes to use when she’s not sure how she got a character from scene A to scene B but she knows it was awesome and she’ll figure it out later. Maybe we’ll get to peek into that black box and see exactly how the course of events really happens.

Riley lives wherever her imagination takes her.
