Born and raised in the Shenandoah Valley, Mackenzie Raye has always had a love for words. In her eighth grade year she was called into the office over a piece written in her daily English class journal because the teacher feared her fictional story to be real. Since that moment, she dreamed of becoming an author. While homeschooling her teenage son, she has been doodling away and creating fictional pieces soon to be offered to the world.
