Riya Anne Polcastro

About

 Armed with a useless liberal arts degree, Riya Anne Polcastro is a student of human behavior and a conduit for raw words.  Maybe it is because she learned to read and write in her second language before she learned to do the same in her first.  Maybe it is because she was raised a missionary’s daughter at the same time that she was taught to question everything.  Maybe there are a whole lot of reasons.  Either way, her fascination with mental illness and human interaction is weaved into fiction with a language that is at times caressed and loved, at others beaten into submission.  A long- time resident of the Pacific Northwest, Polcastro aims to join the ranks of great Oregon writers.  She is the author of Suicide in Tiny Increments and two more novels to be released this fall.
