Rita Mace Walston was born and raised in Michigan. After moving four times in five years and never staying in the same time zone, she and her family settled in rural northern Virginia. She and her husband have a small homestead with extensive gardens and a greenhouse, as well as a dog, a cat, two beehives, and a dozen-plus chickens.

Rita loves experimenting in the kitchen with ingredients from her gardens and foraging. Her first novel, Paper & Ink, Flesh & Blood, was published in 2020. Rita is a graduate of the Queens University MFA program in Charlotte, North Carolina.

“These books were thoughts, emotions, and ideas born in someone’s imagination, translated into ink on paper. Read, again and again, by one, by many, over years, perhaps decades, until the characters had become real in the collective consciousness, achieved life, as much flesh and blood as those who had once walked the earth but were now dust beneath it.”

“Why is it, do you think, the people accept that some things can be unseen or unheard by most, yet be valid and real, yet other things unseen or unheard are judged to be figments of imagination or signs of an unstable mind?”
