Whether as D. Reneé Bagby or Zenobia Renquist, Reneé lives in her imagination. When not traveling through her fantasy worlds, she can be found in MD living with her husband and two cats. She is an Air Force brat turned Air Force wife, which means she’s accustomed to travel and does it whenever possible (so long as she doesn’t have to fly). Her favorite pastime is torturing her characters on their way to happily-ever-after for the enjoyment of her readers. On the few occasions her muse flees the scene of the crime, Reneé likes to read (comics, manga, and romance), go to the movies, play a few levels of Diner Dash or Cake Mania or experiment with a new chain maille weave. Her life and being in an interracial relationship influenced her need to write more books with which she could identify. She also had an overwhelming urge to find out (through her writing) what would happen when a black heroine gets tossed into the same situations as a typical romance heroine (ie - being bounced back in time or running into alien hordes with only one thing on their minds).
