Raysa Bloom (at least, that's what you can call her) is the author sixteen novels and has received many accolades for her writing, including an American Library Association award and honors from the International Literacy Association for Notable Books for Global Society.
She writes stories about love, fate, and the invisible threads that connect people across time. A New Yorker at heart (born in Brooklyn and grew up in upstate Ulster County), Raysa is endlessly fascinated by old subway maps, forgotten city history, vintage photographs, old diaries, and the scientific possibility of time travel.
Albert Einstein. Midnight in Paris. Carl Sagan. The Lake House. Interstellar. Stephen Hawking. Time Traveler's Wife. Neils Bohr. Cloud Atlas!
What more could a dyed in the wool science geek and hopeless romantic ask for?
Sometimes, when Raysa finds herself standing at a street corner in the city, or watching a town go by out the window of her car, or hiking on a wooded trail that was once entirely clear cut for farming, she imagines what it must have looked like a hundred years ago.
Who lived here? What did they do? Were they really any different than we are today?
When she's not writing, you can find her at her yoga studio practicing dancing warrior, forearm stands, and still working on doing a tree pose with her eyes closed.
