Rue Sparks is an amalgamation of neuroses and nonsense, held together by duct tape and sheer stubbornness. A widow, disabled, and a member of the queer community, they traverse the simultaneously harsh and cathartic landscape where trauma and healing align to create stories that burrow into the hearts and minds of their readers. In addition to The Stars Will Guide Us Back, Rue has authored the novella Daylight Chasers and the contemporary mystery novel The Fable of Wren. They volunteer as the communications coordinator at the women's library Gal's Guide to the Galaxy and as an artist for the indie publisher Lost Boys Press. They live in Noblesville, Indiana, with their sweet senior support dog and cantankerous cat. See less
