Welcome! I’m Becca, an author and MFA graduate from Philadelphia, writing under the name R. K. Washburn. My goal is to share accessible fantasy and science fiction, particularly with a queer focus, along with all the monsters, plot twists, and shenanigans I can fit in.

As Promised by the Dark

For fans of Sorcery of Thorns and A Marvellous Light…
A historian of magic, a wayward heir to a magical dynasty, and a spiteful demon are forced to work together to stop a diabolical cult when a family’s dark secrets collide with academia’s ruthless devotion to uncovering the past at any cost. A second world dark fantasy novel featuring a polyamorous twist, commonplace magic, and ancient curses fueled by blood.
