Eli Rainwater

Hi! I’m Eli Rainwater. My love for reading started at an early age when my mother taught me to read almost as soon as I learned to talk. I discovered the fantasy genre and fell hard for it when my brother used to let me sit in on his D&D sessions and lent me his collections of Dragonlance and David Eddings books while he was away at college.

I wrote short stories and poetry in school, but like so many of us, I never really pursued my passions as an adult. Then, COVID hit. After two years of being in “go mode” while I managed a pub, the owner sent all of his management staff on vacation. I spent a week reading in a yurt in the mountains, and when I came home, I wrote and self-published my first book.

Now, I get to write stories I love and travel to conventions and events where people are nice enough to let me talk about my books and the world I created for hours on end.
