Rulan Benedict is a Texas-based writer who explores themes of identity, memory, bonds, and the environments that shape us through upmarket and speculative fiction. Her favorite artistic technique is chiaroscuro, and she strives to apply it to her written work by blending lyrical prose and gritty realism, with moments of humor to light the way.

 

When not clacking at the keyboard, she can be found playing Stardew Valley with a cat in her lap, working on her next acrylic painting, or stalking the neighborhood crows.
