Welcome to my little sky island on the web.
I’m RG Newhouse—writer, worldbuilder, and unapologetic tea devotee.
Here, I blog about the writing life, the fictional worlds I’m building, and the adventures my characters drag me into (sometimes kicking and screaming).
Whether you’re here for skybound fantasy, behind-the-scenes looks at my process, or to explore the Wind Riders universe, I’m glad you found your way here.
