Rachel Valencourt traded her flight attendant wings for a keyboard and hasn’t looked back. Now an award-winning author, she blends her love of travel and twisty romances into epic family sagas—stories like cozy cups of nostalgia with a dash of historical drama.
Her debut novel, Every Night Has a Dawn, received multiple honors, including being named a Finalist in the American Writing Awards, winning the Regal Summit Award for Historical Fiction, and earning a spot as a 2024 Finalist in the Kindle Book Awards Reader’s Choice category.
Her second novel, Twilight’s Hidden Truth, continued her winning streak by earning the Literary Titan Award and the BookFest Award for Coming-of-Age Fiction, while also being recognized as a Finalist in the IAN Book of the Year Awards for Historical Fiction.
Most recently, Twilight’s Brightest Star was nominated for the International Impact Book Award in Contemporary Fiction and shortlisted for the CIBA Somerset Book Awards in Contemporary Fiction, further solidifying Rachel’s reputation as a distinguished voice in modern historical fiction.
Rachel lives in San Diego with her British husband, two teenage daughters, and Saffy, a feisty six-toed. Blogging since 2010, Rachel shares her writing journey (and a few travel mishaps) online as RachelValencourt, connecting with readers and book lovers worldwide.
