Raena lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and three children. When she’s not writing, she enjoys exploring historic battlefields (her kids always drag her up the tallest lookout towers), family movie nights that feature cheesy 80's and 90's action films, and daydreaming of expanding her backyard farm (goats are still under discussion). Her goal is to write stories that challenge, encourage, and remind readers that even in the darkness, when all hope seems lost, God is always in control.

First of all, I love your name! Second, I checked out your book on Goodreads and it sounds really interesting (and right up my alley)! I'm adding it to my list. As for my writing routine... I primarily write in the early mornings since I also have a full-time job. Mornings are also when my writing tends to be the best. Evenings are better for editing. I try to get 1,000 words done per day, which is nothing for some writers, but I'm a very slow writer. If I get 1,000 words written, it's a good day. I use Scrivener to organize my projects. As for structuring the books, I've become obsessed with the screenwriting book, Save the Cat, and I try to follow that general plot structure in my own writing. My best advice would be to write every day, even when you don't feel like it, and even if it's only for 15 minutes. Pick the time of day when you do the best writing and try to make that your time to write without distractions. Aim for a certain word count (such as 1,000 words) but don't beat yourself up if you don't hit that number every day. Just try to get those 15 minutes in... because it will usually end up being a lot more than 15 minutes. Good luck in all you do! Thank you so much for reading Reverence! --Raena (less)

Raena and 1 other person liked Jennifer's review of Subversive (Subversive, #1):
Subversive by Raena Rood
"This book just about wrecked me. And the only thing I regret is not having the second one in hand as I finished the first."
Subversive by Raena Rood
"Outstanding

Finally, a book in my favorite genre that is Christian based, and also seems to follow Revelations. I can hardly wait to read the next one. No spoilers, but this book is GOOD! "
Subversive by Raena Rood
"Woah.

This book is thought-provoking, insightful, and oftentimes gut-wrenching.

A lot was hard to read. But it will be even harder to live.

It's encouraging me, though, to reexamine my faith. If I were challenged, would I stand strong?" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Raena Rood  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Listen carefully to the Apostle Paul’s words from Second Timothy. Write them down. Pray about them. Lock them away in your hearts, where no soldier can ever find them and destroy them. Remember, the government can imprison us. They can hurt our bodies. They might even murder some of us. But they cannot imprison or murder our souls. We have to surrender those willingly.”
Raena Rood, Sanctuary

“Keep your attention on Jesus Christ as risen from the dead and descended from David. This is according to my gospel. I suffer for it to the point of being bound like a criminal, but God’s message is not bound... For if we have died with Him, we will also live with Him; if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny Him, He will also deny us.”
Raena Rood, Sanctuary

“You will go on because you don’t have a choice. Life doesn’t always give us options, but the strongest ones among us keep moving forward, no matter how difficult things get.”
Raena Rood, Reverence
