Meet Rachel

Hello and thank you for visiting my blog!

I’m Rachel, a travel-loving writer from San Diego, currently working on Captive Before Dawn, the prequel to my award-winning Winds of Change trilogy. This new story delves deep into colonial-era history, exploring themes of resilience, survival, and family legacies.

When I’m not writing, I love exploring new countries and have lived in Australia and the UK. I’m in the midst of raising two amazing teenage daughters (heaven help me) with my charming British husband (I highly recommend picking one up).

I enjoy reading, hiking, and chasing sunsets on the beach. You’ll often find me rollerblading on the boardwalk with my girls or dreaming up new stories inspired by history and adventure. My passion for travel and family shines through in my writing, and I’m excited to share this creative journey with you.

Let’s be friends!
