C. Rene Astle is an author (and avid reader) of fantasy and science fiction novels, as well as a number of short stories.
She gained a love of fiction, fantasy in particular, and a voracious appetite for story literally at her mother's knee, being read The Hobbit and Chronicles of Narnia - because those are the types of stories her mom wanted to read.
From her father, she got an enduring curiosity about the universe, earned shivering in the dark beside a telescope on cold, Canadian winter nights waiting to witness some celestial event.
Now she fits in writing between her day job, gardening and getting out to enjoy supernatural British Columbia.
