Domyelle Rhyse

Domy (as she prefers to be called) started writing at the age of 10 and fell in love with fantasy when a fifth grade teacher read The Hobbit to the class. She started annoying friends with weird stories in high school but didn’t take her writing seriously until after earning a college degree and having a family that took pride in interrupting her every minute.

Her short stories and articles have appeared in several online and print magazines and anthologies, including Aoife’s Kiss, Beyond Centauri, Golden Visions, and Distant Passages:  The Best from Double-Edged Publishing Vol. 1. As an editor and an admin of Dreaming In Ink Writers Workshop, she’s had the honor of working with a number of authors whose work has been published by both small press and traditional publishers. Domy is the mother of four children and lives in Georgia with her chef husband, two of the kids, four cats, and a dog.
