Kya Rayne

Goodreads Author


Member Since
February 2023


Kya Rayne is an authoress, illustrator, and poet. As far back as she can remember, she has been weaving words and worlds in her imagination. She penned and published her first poetry book, Ways of Words, at fourteen. ‘One Bird Singing’ is her second volume of poetry, and takes an even deeper, more exhilarating look at life than her first collection. Currently she has an epic world-traveling adventure novel in the works, plus ideas for other fantasy stories that she can’t wait to dive in to.

Also an artist, Rayne was delighted to collaborate with her dad (Lockman), by illustrating his children’s book, ‘little balloon’. She looks forward to taking her art farther in the near future with maps and sketches for her own projects.

I take those blocks and build a castle.
….Or I smash them to gravel and build roads through imaginary worlds.

Sometimes I will draw, because it helps me to envision my worlds and characters more vividly; sometimes I will make collages of photos that are relevant to my work; sometimes I will flip through the books on my shelf, because seeing them motivates me to keep pressing forward on my own.

Ultimately, though, I just have to sit down and make myself write. Word by word, I hammer away at that block, until it burst into smithereens.(less)

If we would all step back sometimes and look at our stories as though they were written by a good friend—someone whom we would give kind but honest words—we could go farther as writers. The journey is taken step by step, but there is a reason travelers carry a map. Look at now; look at later. See where you are so you can get to where you want to go!

And take good counsel; mentor characters aren’t just fictional props!(less)

“Strengthen my heart
To keep speaking what I know is true
Even when it hurts
And brings pain I must go through.”


—From the poem ‘Offering”
Kya Rayne, One Bird Singing

“Say what you believe
And fight with all you are
I told you truth wasn’t easy
—Neither is catching a shooting star.”


—‘Only the Truth”
Kya Rayne, One Bird Singing

“The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back.”
C. S. Lewis, Till We Have Faces

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.”
C.S. Lewis

“Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
