About Rachel

Rachel, a white woman, sits on a leather couch. She's wearing a blue shirt and a white sweater with yellow stripes, smiling at the camera. Out of focus in the foreground is a copy of Carry Me Through Christmas.

Rachel has loved books for as long as she can remember.

During the second half of 2020 Rachel started a Bookstagram and in doing so, reinvigorated her love for reading. While intentionally connecting with the book community, Rachel realized some new passions: the inspiration to write her own Happily-Ever-Afters.

This dream became a reality in 2022. Rachel’s debut novel, Carry Me Through Christmas published November 10, 2022. Signed copies are always available for purchase at the “Signed Copies” link on this site!

Rachel is currently working on a series of interconnected standalones featuring five brothers while she pursues an MFA in Popular Fiction at Seton Hill University.
