Raymond K. Rugg (he/him) works in speculative fiction, speculative non-fiction and speculative poetry. 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. In 2017, Rugg and his family relocated from the Reno-Tahoe area of Nevada 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 the speculative fiction genre while freelancing print and web content and holding a corporate day job in office technology sales.
