Funny: A known introvert and mild megalomaniac -- handy because writing indulges both. When not writing, A.E. can be found slaving under the cat's demands, chasing the laundry, or whipping up really good bad food in the kitchen.Somewhat serious: Self-proclaimed nerd, A.E. Rought has spent most of her early life in libraries and bookstores. It's no surprise that she turned to writing shortly after creative arts college. She has novels of varying genres, and different pennames, published since 2006.Serious-er: A student of language arts, A.E. Rought studied creative writing while attending Grand Valley State University with a focus on languages; French, Russian, and English. Now, married and a mother, A.E. writes from the comfort of home.
