Author Meeting with RaeAnne Hadley (R.A. Lingenfelter)

Join us for a special Author Meeting with RaeAnne Hadley, also known as R.A. Lingenfelter, an award-winning author, director, and producer whose journey to writing is anything but ordinary.

After spending more than 25 years as an automotive mechanic, RaeAnne never imagined she would become an International Gold Medal–winning author or an IMDb-certified, award-winning filmmaker featured in multiple international film festivals. Her writing has earned comparisons to works such as The Hunger Games, Red Dawn, and 1984, while maintaining a voice that is entirely her own.

RaeAnne credits her late father with encouraging her creative path, transforming a difficult moment in her life into the spark that launched her writing career. Today, she spends her time crafting imaginative worlds and compelling stories filled with tension, resilience, and thought-provoking themes.

Her debut novel, End of Crows, earned the International Readers’ Favorite Gold Medal for Young Adult Adventure and has achieved multiple #1 rankings on Amazon. The second book in the series, Flight of Sparrows, received the International Readers’ Favorite Silver Medal, along with additional international recognition.

This event offers an opportunity to hear directly from the author about her creative journey, writing process, and award-winning series.
