Adrienne Rex

Madison Pierre (who sometimes goes by the pen name Adrienne Rex) is an aspiring author from Houston Texas.Her stories take after their author, meaning they’re usually imaginative and offbeat.When she’s not making her daydreams pay rent (otherwise known as writing), she’s drawing, reading, or being dragged around by her dog on what may charitably be called a walk.

What I like to write

  • Fantasy, sci fi, and horror. For longer fiction, I like to toss in a romantic subplot.

  • I prefer to write either very long stories, or really short ones. Sometimes a poem will bite my ankles until I write it, but I consider myself a prose writer.

  • The weird, the strange, the unimagined. I like mashing genres together like peanut butter and chocolate to see what I get.

  • Monsters, myths, and everything in between. I think its much more interesting to write from the perspective of the monster than the monster slayer.

  • Expansive, weird worlds, but not at the expense of the plot.


What I like to read

  • Some of my favorite authors include Catherynne M. Valente, Tamsyn Muir, and Terry Pratchett.

  • My favorite horror novel is probably World War Z by Max Brooks, favorite sci-fi that I've read recently was Exordia by Seth Dickinson, and favorite fantasy was A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher

  • I also read danmei. No I will not apologize for it. I like my romances with action scenes involving battling hordes of undead with swords and kung fu. Western romance writers could learn a thing or three.


Other fun facts about me!

  • I have a completed manuscript I'm currently querying for, and another in the works

  • I'm best friends with Collette Grace who, is a fantastic writer you should totally check out!

  • I play DND and make tables for dungeon masters to use in their games. You can see them here
