Rachel was born in Cambridge, England - and perhaps that partly explains her obsession with rain, storms, and most forms of dreary weather. Of course, cloudy days are also an excellent excuse for her to hunker inside with a book and a cup of tea. Not to mention her excessively adorable corgi, Cerberus.

Beyond grey skies and book hoarding, Rachel's other passions include aerial silks and rock climbing, as well as chocolate, chocolate, and chocolate. She writes character-driven young adult fantasy, when corgi Cerberus permits her a break from snuggles and fetch, of course.
