Just call her Raine. S.W. Raine writes steampunk and urban fantasy adventures full of action, banter, and found-family vibes. A Canadian-born mischief-maker now living in Michigan, she’s usually scheming new ways to put her characters through magical mayhem, adventuring with her family, or wrangling two cats who are probably plotting world domination. She’s also a gamer and Marvel fangirl—especially when it comes to Loki and Bucky. Want more mischief and magic? Join her newsletter for sneak peeks and stories.
