Her notable works include the New York Times Bestselling trilogy Snow Like Ashes and the captivating fantasy series These Rebel Waves, along with its sequel, These Divided Shores, both published by Balzer + Bray/HarperCollins.

From a young age, Raasch was destined for the literary world. At the tender age of five, while her friends operated a lemonade stand, she chose to sell her own hand-drawn picture books. This early venture marked the beginning of her unwavering passion for storytelling. Despite her questionable drawing skills, which often earned concerned looks from friends, her zeal for the written word has never waned. Raasch's debut YA fantasy, SNOW LIKE ASHES, the first installation of a trilogy, was released on October 14, 2014, by Balzer + Bray, heralding the start of her professional writing career.
