J.R. Rasmussen

Writer, reader, tireless champion of the Oxford comma. Casual gamer and hardcore donut enthusiast.

A lifetime fantasy fan, I’ve been knocking on the backs of closets in hopes of getting to Narnia since the age of six. I can quote 80’s movies with startling accuracy, and name all the Plantagenet monarchs in order. I’m for dogs. I have no feelings either way about scones. I am still terrified of ringwraiths.

I write traditional fantasy under the name J.R. Rasmussen, and lighthearted cozy mysteries under the name Cordelia Rook. I live in Charlotte, North Carolina, where my household is run by a galumphing fool of a bulldog.
