Caine is the author of the best selling "Morganville Vampire", "Weather Warden" and "Outcast" series of young adult books. The Morganville Vampire series books include "Glass Houses," "The Dead Girls' Dance," "Midnight Alley," "Feast of Fools," "Lord of Misrule," "Carpe Corpus" and "Fade Out."
Caine plans to publish five more books for the series before 2011.
Caine is also the author of the "Weather Warden" series, which includes "Ill Wind," "Heat Stroke," "Chill Factor," "Windfall," "Firestorm," "This Air," "Gale Force" and "Cape Storm." She plans on publishing the final book of the series in 2010.
Her third series, "The Outcast" series, includes "Undone," "Unknown," "Unseen" and "Unbroken." Caine says she has another series that is already planned to replace the "Weather Warden" series. When the "Morganville" series ends she will probably write another young adult series in its place but has no firm plans as of yet.
Along with vampire novels, Caine has also written paranormal romance action adventure novels, such as "Athena Force: Line of Sight," which was a 2008 RT Reviewer's Choice award winner.
In the fall of 2005 she also published under the pseudonym of Julie Fortune, "Sacrifice Moon," an original novel for the "Stargate SG-1" television series. "My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding," "My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon," "Strange Brew" and "Many Bloody Returns" are among her best selling short fiction anthologies, as well as contributing to BenBella Books' "SmartPop" anthologies of nonfiction essays.
Some may be surprised to learn that Caine is in fact a pen name. Her real name is Roxanne Conrad. She has also previously published under the name Roxanne Longstreet. Rachel Caine says she "started out writing under my maiden name, then changed to my married name when sales didn't go so great. Then I had to change again, to Caine -- but it looks like this time it's worked out." When asked if she has a favorite pseudonym to write under, she said, "I'd have to say that Rachel Caine is definitely the most fun I've ever had writing."
She also has a full-time job as a Director of Corporate Communications at a worldwide company. "My professional career makes it hard sometimes -- long hours and lots of stress. But it's great to be able to dive into my writing when I get the chance. I try hard to keep my writing separate from my business life, but it can be difficult -- for instance, I'm taking Friday off work to come to Exton for the signing!"

I work at the Borders Express -- Rachel Caine was amazing. She must have signed hundreds of books -- many fans brought all the books they owned! -- and she talked to each person and was enthusiastic and energetic the whole night. (Continued…)
