Born and raised in the quiet suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pa, she took an early interest in horror and fantasy tales as an escape from the ordinary. She wrote her first horror short when she was just nine years old, to the horror of her teachers and her parents. No matter how many times her teachers told her "serious" writers don't write genre fiction, she just kept at it.
Rycroft was accepted as a member of the Horror Writers Association in early 2017 and won back-to-back awards for the third book in her dark fantasy Cathell series, The Joy Thief.view less
