Hello! Weโre Author R.J. Setser!
R.J. Setser is a pseudonym for wife and husband duo, Rayleigh and Joshua Setser. High-school sweethearts who found their happily-ever-after in 2019, Rayleigh and Joshua have been writing together since 2015 and published their debut novel, A Queen is Knighted in 2021. Since then, theyโve released Program MIRA (2022) and the sequel to A Queen is Knighted, A Prince is Lured (2023). Their short story, The Silver Dragon, was also featured in the fantasy anthology Where Giants Fall in 2022.
They live in a small town in East Texas with their 2 dogs, Watson and Rosie, and 1 cat, Yuna. They spend most of their time juggling Joshuaโs military life and Rayleighโs civilian life. In their free time, they can be found with both of their families at the lake, reading or writing, and quite possibly playing sword-fighting video games โfor researchโ.
