About Rachel

Rachel Elizabeth was homeschooled with her four siblings, developing a love for stories at a young age from her mom reading classics aloud to her and her siblings. She loves crafting wholesome fantasy stories of light overcoming the darkness. 

Rachel is a Jesus-loving hobbit who delights in the little things in life, and craves books like The Lord of the Rings and The Ranger’s Apprentice. She collects swords, chocolate, and can be found adventuring with her siblings when she’s not lying in the middle of the floor brainstorming a story.
