ABOUT

AUTHOR, ARTIST, AND ADVOCATE


Rue Sparks is a composite of neurosis and nonsense held together by duct tape and sheer stubbornness. A widow, disabled, and queer, they traverse the equally harsh and cathartic landscape where trauma and healing align to create stories that burrow into the hearts and minds of their readers. They live in Noblesville, Indiana in the USA with their sweet senior support dog and cantankerous cat.
