Raven H.M. Blackmore is a storyteller who writes with her whole heart, a woman shaped by survival, softened by motherhood, and strengthened by truth. She has walked through darkness and learned to carry light, not just for others, but for herself, and for anyone walking a path that feels too heavy to navigate alone.
Her life, her leadership, and her words reflect a steady belief: your story can break you open or it can set you free, and she chooses freedom, every time. Her life, and the lessons carved from it, offer a pathway for anyone ready to move from a story written for them into a story they shape themselves, one rooted in emotional independence, self-trust, and a foundation strong enough to build the happiness they deserve.
Raven is many things at once: a wife, a mother, a business owner, an autistic woman moving through a world that rarely slows down, and a fierce believer in the quiet strength people carry inside themselves. She brings compassion, loyalty, and intention to everything she touches, values learned not from privilege or textbooks, but from witnessing what happens when care is missing and deciding she would not let that cycle continue.
Her writing holds the same intention.
In Not Broken, Uniquely Special, Raven opens the door to her inner world with rare honesty, blending cinematic storytelling with vulnerability that does more than ease loneliness, it helps readers transition from isolation to purpose, from confusion to clarity. She writes about autism, trauma, masking, grief, resilience, motherhood, and love in a way that is unflinching, grounded, and deeply human.
Raven writes for the misunderstood.
For the people who grew up feeling different.
For those who survived homes that should have been safe.
For the women who carried too much, too young.
For the adults who finally found language for their wiring and their wounds.
For anyone who has ever questioned their worth and is ready to build—piece by piece—the place they will someday call home.
At the center of her life is her daughter, Kiki, a radiant soul who taught her that cycles can be broken and new stories can be written. Beside her stands her husband, Sean, the unexpected love who showed her what emotional safety feels like and sees her clearly, even in the moments she hides from herself. Together, they anchor her, remind her of what matters, and prove that a life rebuilt in truth can become something steady and extraordinary.
Raven believes that difference is a strength, vulnerability is power, and healing is an intentional journey that unfolds over time. Her story isn’t polished. It isn’t easy. It isn’t perfect.
It is hers, and she offers it boldly, page by page, for anyone who needs to know that becoming yourself is not only possible, but necessary.
Not all struggles are loud. Not all brilliance looks the same.
This book unravels the quiet, misunderstood, and deeply human experience of masking autism — and the strength it takes to finally unmask.
