About the author

Rick Bettencourt writes LGBTQ+ fantasy with forbidden love, found family, and a dash of humor. His signature series, The Rise of the Normals, follows Diesel, a wolf-shifter who’d rather be “normal,” even if love—and the pack—complicate everything. Expect heart, humor, and claws.

With over 100,000 books sold, Rick is a former president of the Florida Writers Association and an active author coach and speaker. Readers can expect emotional, hopeful journeys with queer romance, loyalty under pressure, and a wink of mischief.

He lives in Florida with his husband and a very opinionated dog, but his New England roots still tug at him (and justify drinking iced coffee year-round). Diesel—the wolf-shifter who thinks he’s the star of everything—occasionally insists on editorial control.

[Amanda Foster · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely delightful! Summerwind Magick is funny, cozy, heartfelt, and full of charm. Carolyn’s journey from public meltdown to magical awakening is both touching and empowering, and the sapphic romance is sweet, witty, and perfectly written. The island setting, found family vibes, and gentle witchy magic made this impossible to put down. I smiled the whole way through and didn’t want it to end. Highly recommend to anyone who loves cozy fantasy, LGBTQ+ romance, and stories about finding your power later in life.
