Renee Verite grew up in Akron, Ohio, when the city earned its name as the Rubber Capital of the World. She holds a BA in English from The University of Akron (1987) and an MA in journalism from Kent State University (2003).
Currently, she is a high school English and journalism teacher. Before teaching, she did indeed work at a medieval-themed restaurant at the now-defunct Rolling Acres Mall and a few other restaurants in Northeastern Ohio. Renee also worked as a newspaper journalist at The (Wooster) Daily Record. She lives with her husband Bill and her beloved pets in Ohio.
Her two daughters are currently in college, and she travels to see them frequently. In addition to reading and writing, she enjoys travel, history, gardening, exercise, research projects, word games, and spending time with family and friends as they enjoy good food!
Her first novel, Living in a Dark House, is available now from Amazon. To learn more or purchase the book, click here.
