R.A. Lingenfelter
BIOGRAPHY

Having been an automotive mechanic for 25+ years, R.A. Lingenfelter never dreamed she would be an International Gold Medal Award winning author, or an IMDb certified award-winning director and producer for multiple international film festivals.

Having an incredible networking and support system, R.A. acknowledges that it takes many hands and talents to support and grow her writing and film careers. Her writing has won accolades and has been compared to Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games, and Veronica Roth's Divergent, but she definitely wants her writing voice to be as unique as her personality.

R.A.'s gratitude for her father grows each year, even after his death, as he was the one who read her notes on ways to kill off her boss via vehicular homicide after he fired her for taking maternity leave. Instead of spending time behind bars, R.A. happily spends her time behind the laptop plotting new worlds and new ways of vengeance.

Her book series, End of Crows, was scheduled to premiere at the 2020 Denver Comicon but unfortunately, Covid changed that. The series has won the highly coveted Gold Medal Reader's Favorite Award for Young Adult Adventure in 2022. She's had four of her novels hit #1 on Amazon and hopes to earn more credentials with her writing.

She lives in Colorado with her city-boy husband with six and a quarter horses, (Mr. Moonlight only counts as 25% horse) her four dogs and two incredible and also sarcastic daughters.

R.A. Lingenfelter Interview On 11, Feb 2021

"RaeAnne Hadley writes sweet romance under her married name and uses her maiden name for her darker stories. She enjoys bringing tears and laughter into other people's lives. She lives in Colorado, a romantic place like her novels. RaeAnne Hadley is a prolific writer and engages the reader with every novel she writes."
What’s your happiest memory from childhood?

Getting my own horse on Christmas Eve. I was 3 years old. <3

Who introduced you to the world of books?

It was an accident. We would travel back to Pennsylvania a couple times every summer and I had NOTHING to do so I picked up a book and fell in love.

What were your dreams during your childhood?

To do anything with horses and to marry Rick Springfield. Hahahaha!

Do you remember the first book you ever wrote?

Heavens yes, it kept me out of prison!

How would you describe your career as an automotive mechanic?

Fast paced, stressful and very gender discriminative. But I love proving all of those men wrong.

Why did you decide to write under the pen name, RA Lingenfelter?

I write sweet romance under my married name and when I started to crave writing otherworldly creations, I was told I needed to write under a pen name. I’ve always been proud of my maiden name so it just clicked to use it for my darker stories

What were the key challenges you faced when writing your first book?

I didn’t know what I was doing, at all! When my Dad had a stroke before Christmas, I wanted to get it done to encourage him to walk and come home. Since I didn’t have an agent or publisher, I chose to self publish it. The day I handed him my first paperback, I watched him walk 8 steps!

How did you begin writing the Small Sacrifices series?

It had been an idea I had for a few years. I don’t like how governments all around the world lore over their people. We shouldn’t have to pay to be alive and enjoy this beautiful world. That coupled with my love of the Divergent series sparked me to just write it down, hahaha.

What inspired the story of your book, Grave Devotion: A Love Story?

I’m so very old school but I see this younger generation wanting to change everything about themselves instead of loving and embracing who they were born to be. Nobody should change themselves to make someone else fall in love with them.

Who inspired the character of Anastasia in "With Love; Now & Forever"?

Anastasia is actually me. This story is loosely based on how I lost my first love (though my mother handled the situation MUCH differently) It haunted me for years and this was my therapy to get it out. It thrilled me to death when it became my first #1 book on Amazon

What is the sweetest fan-mail that you have ever received?

A young lady emailed me to tell me how much she loved my writing, how it transported her to another world. When she told me she wished she could write, I emailed her back encouraging her because ALL of us have a story inside, just not all of us want to write it. She told me she was in tears that I had actually encouraged her and she promised she would start on that story.

What are some tips for a male fantasy writer wanting to write stronger female characters?

Read female lead stories! There are some tough fictional chicks out there. Take notes and enjoy!

What according to you are the key ingredients of a successful book?

Strong emotions, vulnerability and a deep, realistic connection with your characters. I usually cry at least once when I’m writing a story.

Which is the next book you are working on? Is it a series or a stand-alone book?

I’m working on three books right now. Rise of Falcons in the Small Sacrifices Series, Declaration of Crows, also in the Small Sacrifices Series and International Death-Selling Author, a stand alone murder mystery.

How has your experience of being associated with AllAuthor been?

I absolutely adore AllAuthor. Everyone has been supportive and embraced me like a friend, not just a number. I’m so grateful I found this family
