Mac J. Rea has been writing stories and sharing them on the internet since GeoCities was the hot, new thing. Fortunately, most were never read. Despite earning an MA in English Literature and the ability to cheerfully bore people with heartfelt opinions on semiotics, she/they credits fanfiction communities that share writing online as her/their primary influence.

Therefore, it should be no surprise that Mac has spent years of friendship with J. Leigh, collaborating over the world of Way Walkers. Mac currently lives in northern New Jersey with her/their spouse, mother, piebald cat, and a fleet of airplanes in almost every scale.
