Rachel A. Greco dreams of being a dragon but has settled instead for being an author, which is almost as fun. Her debut YA fantasy duology, The Gift of Dragons, includes dragons, daggers, and slow burn enemies-to-lovers.

When not writing, she can be found reading, kayaking, or dancing with elves in the forests of her North Carolina home.

I actually don't truly grasp what this 'writer's block' is all about. I do sometimes have to think hard about overcoming certain plot problems or logistical issues in my stories, but it's not really a block; it's more just having to stop and think through things.

What is Noblebright Fantasy?

A year or two ago, I started hearing the term “noblebright” fantasy. Other than a newer subgenre of fantasy, I didn’t know what it was, so I did some digging. It turns out that noblebright stories are filled with hope, characters fighting for a brighter future, and a world where good can triumph over evil.

Such a sweet, cozy story! Where's my bed and breakfast, afternoon tea, and "baby" dragon?! The romance was sweet and actually grounded on respect for each other, not lust, which was so refreshing. I only wished Calisa's big revelation or epiphany was ...more

Quotes by Rachel A. Greco  (?)

“Instead of being awed by the sea’s vastness as she had when she first saw it, she now felt overwhelmed.

How could she find anything in that plain of never-ending water? She was just one human—a mere bubble in the limitless ocean.”
Rachel A. Greco, The Hope of Dragons

“All the shadowed faces turned toward Adelaide. They still looked to her for leadership. Once, it had been like the weight of Cyr on her shoulder: uncomfortable and irritating at times, but worth it.

Now it was like trying to juggle torches: dangerous and terrifying.

For she now knew that her actions could scorch them.”
Rachel A. Greco, The Hope of Dragons

“It was an awesome and terrible sight, and she couldn’t tear her eyes away. So strong and fierce in form, yet so beautiful in their jeweled scales, in the curve of their necks, in the pain and love in their all-seeing eyes.”
Rachel A. Greco

“No one should ever have to face the wolf alone." -Face the Wolf”
Kathleen Bird, Tales from the Forest

“The consolation of fairy-stories, the joy of the happy ending; or more correctly of the good catastrophe, the sudden joyous "turn" (for there is no true end to any fairy-tale): this joy, which is one of the things which fairy-stories can produce supremely well, is not essentially "escapist," nor "fugitive." In its fairy-tale -- or otherworld -- setting, it is a sudden and miraculous grace: never to be counted on to recur. It does not deny the existence of dyscatastrophe, of sorrow and failure: the possibility of these is necessary to the joy of deliverance; it denies (in the face of much evidence, if you will) universal final defeat and in so far is evangelium, giving a fleeting glimpse of Joy, Joy beyond the walls of the world, poignant as grief.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, Tolkien On Fairy-stories
