My name is Thalen Rue, and I tell stories that wander through dusk and dream. I write to trace the path between distance and return — the slow courage of moving forward, and the quiet truth that light always finds us again. My fiction carries the rhythms of travel, longing, and rediscovery. I’m fascinated by landscapes both external and internal: deserts, hearts, and the wild edges where they meet. When I’m not writing, I’m usually somewhere between pages and places, chasing sunsets and collecting stories in the dust.
