Discover the Next Generation of Christian Storytellers…
Featuring Jade Raine
Jade is an artist, cosplayer, and writer who grew up loving creepy critters and magical fairytales. She read stories of fantastical worlds and far-off adventures that embraced uniqueness, sparking the storyteller in her own heart. Now she writes about quirky characters and magical worlds designed to encourage young adults to embrace wonder in the ordinary and remind them that we live in a whimsical world. When not writing fantasy adventures, you can find her attempting to fly with handmade fairy wings, kidnapping local toads, thrifting grandma clothes, and reading old literature and fairytales.
