Pilot. Technologist. Storyteller of the end of the world.
Hi, I’m Rachel Recker, writing as Rachel Aukes, author of gritty 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 penned a story or two about it. I’ve written over forty novels, 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 the bestselling Redline Corps, Fringe, Bounty Hunter, Waymaker Wars, Flight of the Javelin, and Space Troopers series (the last co-written with Jamie McFarlane). If you like fast-paced stories filled with action, grit, and a touch of mayhem, you’re in the right place. (My first several books were written under the pen name, Berinn Rae, until I decided to simplify life and combine pen names.) I grew up on a farm in small-town Iowa, where I proudly owned the town’s largest (okay, 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 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. |
