Raymond K. Rugg (he/him) works in speculative fiction and non-fiction.
Rugg is not Native, but did grow up on a ranch located in the foothills of the Mission Mountains on the Flathead Indian Reservation of Northwest Montana. He spent much of his youth working in the family outfitting business--wrangling horses, guiding pack trips into the wilderness areas of Montana and Idaho and later on, guiding whitewater raft trips and floats. After earning his B.A. in Political Science, Rugg eventually settled with his family in the Tahoe/Reno area of Nevada, where he built a career as an award-winning journalist and, when print media went into decline, transitioned into sales. In 2017, Rugg and his family relocated to New England, where he can, coincidentally, trace his family tree back to the 1600s. From his home just outside Boston, he continues to work in genre fiction and non-fiction while freelancing non-fiction articles and holding a corporate day job in office technology sales. Some projects of note include:
