Mary Jo Rabe writes science fiction, modern fantasy, historical fiction, and crime or mystery stories, generally displaying a preference for what she defines as happy endings. Ideas for her fiction come from the magnificent, expanding universe, the rural environment of eastern Iowa where she grew up, the beautiful Michigan State University campus where she got her first degree, and the Black Forest area of Germany with its center in Freiburg where she worked as a librarian for 41 years before retiring to Titisee-Neustadt. She published "Blue Sunset", inspired by Spoon River Anthology and The Martian Chronicles, electronically. News about her published stories is posted regularly on her blog: https://maryjorabe.wordpress.com/
She indulges in sporadic activity on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/rabemj) and BlueSky (maryjorabe.bsky.social)
