About Randi

Randi Smith is a born-and-raised Kentuckian who still calls the Bluegrass State her home. She first discovered her love of writing after self-publishing a short novel in high school, which inspired her to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Publishing from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee.

She currently lives in her hometown with her many rescue cats. When she isn't trying to meet her word count goal, she works at her local library. Besides her passion for all things reading and writing, Randi is an avid lover of astronomy, orcas, and the color purple.

She is a proud member of Authors Against Book Bans and the Independent Book Publishers Association.

Anti-AI Statement:

I’m an author, which means I love creating for the sake of creation. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) fully undermines the authentic joy of writing. I do not, nor will I ever, use AI. Not in my books, not in my newsletters, not even in my social media captions. It is the only ethical choice an author can make to preserve literacy, critical thinking, and this profession.
