Pilot. Technologist. Storyteller of the end of the world.
Hi, I’m Rachel Recker, writing as Rachel Aukes, author of sci-fi and horror stories about survival, strange tech, and the end of the world. If it’s got aliens, zombies, or shadowy conspiracies, I’ve probably written a story or two about it. In fact, I’ve written 46 novels to date, including 100 Days in Deadland (a “Best of the Year” pick by Suspense Magazine), Stealing Fate (a USA Today recommended read), The Lazarus Key, and all these series: Redline Corps, Fringe, Bounty Hunter, Waymaker Wars, Flight of the Javelin, Colliding Worlds Trilogy, Guardians of the Seven Seals, Space Troopers (co-written with Jamie McFarlane), and Infinity Upgrade (co-written with JN Chaney). If you like fast-paced stories filled with action, grit, and a touch of mayhem, you’re in the right place. (A side note: my first six books were written under the pen name, Berinn Rae, until I decided to simplify life and combine pen names under Rachel Aukes.) I grew up on a farm in small-town Iowa, where I proudly owned the town’s largest (and probably only) comic book collection. I earned degrees from the University of Northern Iowa and Drake University, and before turning to writing full-time, I worked as a tech executive and taught college courses on the side. Somewhere along the way, I also got my pilot’s license (because gravity is overrated), and besides, my head’s always been in the clouds. These days, I spend my time writing, hiking with my dog, drinking too much tea, and plotting new ways to end the world... fictionally, of course. |
