Writer of Young Adult Horror, Science Fiction and Fantasy.

Madeline Rue began writing as a teenager after moving to Los Angeles. It was her way of preserving a childhood spent swimming, climbing trees, befriending animals, reading comics, and drawing imaginary worlds. She later studied Theater Arts and copyediting, earned a B.A. in Creative Writing, completed the UCLA Writers’ Program in Fiction Writing, and joined SCBWI. She has won numerous awards through SCBWI and one from the Futuristic, Fantasy, & Paranormal RWA. Most recently, she won the YARWA Rosemary Award for Excellence in Young Adult Fiction (Suspense and Thriller category).

Drawn to abandoned buildings and places reclaimed by nature, she mixes these elements into the fiction she creates. Environmental issues and support of animal welfare also find their way into her stories.

Currently, she lives in Los Angeles with her growing family.
