Selina R. Gonzalez is a Colorado local with mountains in her blood and dreams that top 14,000 feet. She loves swords, fantasy, costumes, bread, history, castles, superheroes, things that sparkle, snark, dogs, dragons, and Jesus—not in that order.

She writes medieval-inspired fantasy with swoon but no on-page spice. She loves writing about relationships—platonic, familial, and romantic—and her books center healthy romances founded on mutual values, trust, and respect between imperfect people who make mistakes but always strive to grow.

Shorter term, I'd just love to break even. 😅😅 But those are more long-game goals, and for now, my main goal for each book is to write a book I love and am proud of and that some other people love, too. It'd be fun to be a NYT bestseller at some point, but that's a dream, not an actual goal. 😊(less)

I'm gonna cry; this was very good. 🥲😭 I need more people who don't like romance to write more romance because they write actually healthy romance. 🤣 (Note that this series is no spice but very PG-13 for themes and language.)

“Pain shouldn't be a requirement for finding purpose or for helping people, but pain can be a bridge that unites your journey with another's, that reminds the broken of a simple truth. We are more than our wounds. More than the scars we bear. More than the cages and the shackles others have used against us. And there is more to life than pain.”
Becky Gaines, The Soul Crier

“There be nothing ye can do about what's past. It be what it be. A painful place. A broken place. Leaks into the present somethin' fierce." She leans around me to catch my gaze. "But it be not where we live.”
Becky Gaines, The Soul Crier

“It wasn't pain that bent my will to theirs. Pain was never my weakness. It was the belief that I had no choice, no power to affect even the smallest of changes.

I've always had a choice.

Maybe not the choices I wanted, but it was my choice that kept my heart from hate. It was my choice to see the good in the world, a choice that kept a tiny spark of hope alive so I could dream of a future where I am whole, where I have purpose, and where I have love.”
Becky Gaines, The Soul Crier

“No one is strong every day. No one wins every battle. No life is safe from pain. No one is at their best all the time. We're all broken in our own ways. Scarred by others and by ourselves. Looking for meaning and for hope wherever we can find it. Failure isn't an unbreakable curse. Weakness isn't shameful. Fear isn't our fault. But where we lose, where we suffer most, is when we let them become our excuse not to try.

Bravery is trying.

Trying to make the best of things. Trying to make a difference. Trying to grow.”
Becky Gaines, The Soul Crier

“The future be a big thing, me girl. Impossible to embrace it when yer arms be full of the past.”
Becky Gaines, The Soul Crier
