Rochelle Wilcox was born and raised in Las Vegas, where she learned at an early age the value of fantasy and escape. Raised by a single mom — one of the first women trained to deal poker in the early 70's — Rochelle spent more time in casinos than most adults. She and her husband decided to leave the desert behind and raise their sons in Northern California, where they spend as much time on the water as they can.
Despite her lifelong passion for story-telling, Rochelle's path took her to law school and then to a practice focused on media law and appeals. But her love of writing wasn't sated with briefs bound by legal principles and a fealty to facts. And so she set to paper the story that had been playing in her mind for years, based on the Norse mythology she loved as a child and built around her favorite character — the Norse god of love, Freyr.
Rochelle released her four-part series, The Road to Ragnarök, in 2022. In it, the Norse god of love, hiding in humanity's midst like all of his family, doesn’t want to fall in love with a human. He soon realizes, though, that Lia’s love and her unexpected powers may be the key to the fate of the Norse gods in the battles they’ll face in Ragnarök, and that his very life may depend on her.
Rochelle is working on her next series, Tales of the Vanir, which will tell the story of an elf sworn to the service of the Norse god of love, facing new enemies in the days after Ragnarök; a mercenary who doesn’t yet know who he is — and what his ancestors have done; and a passion neither of them can resist, even as they fight on opposite sides of this emerging conflict
