Rayne Forrest worked for a picture frame manufacturer, a plumbing company, and a general contractor, before becoming involved in a non-profit organization where she serves as an Administrative Assistant. She began writing fiction in 2003. Prior to that she'd designed and written newsletters, booklets and informational pamphlets for those companies.

She lives with her partner of thirteen years in scenic western Maryland, where she was born and raised. She has one very spoiled black Lab and two cats that belong to the dog. All male. Her many novels, ranging from the futuristic settings of Across Time, The Skies of Mahdis, and The Rea Cheveyo Chronicles, to the romantic suspense of Mountain High, to ghosts in Skipping Heaven, have earned stellar reviews from the toughest critics in the industry—her readers.

She has several more titles coming out in the next twelve months including Beyond the Night, One Summer, Hero and Stepping Through. When not at her computer she enjoys working in her garden, crafting, bowling, and reading romance and science fiction. Rayne enjoys classic rock, piano, and Celtic music. She is a member of EPIC (Electronically Published Internet Connection), and the Romance Writers of America.
