Randy Vanover: Author, Storyteller, World-Builder
Randy Vanover spent decades working hard and raising a family, always with a quiet storytelling voice in the back of his head waiting patiently for the right moment. Retirement finally gave it room to speak.
Writing as R. E. Vanover, he creates early chapter books for young readers ages 6–9 — warm, funny stories about friendship, belonging, and finding your place in the world. His debut series, Skye and Copper, follows two mismatched birds navigating a forest full of characters who are funny, wise, and always worth knowing.
Writing as Randy Vanover, he explores bigger worlds — young adult fiction that asks the kind of questions that keep you up at night and sends young readers on adventures they won't forget. His debut YA series, The Starlight Scout, is coming soon.
He lives with a deep appreciation for the small things — a good story, a quiet morning, and the belief that the best adventures don't require you to go very far at all.
