Rachel Barnett lives in beautiful rural Wiltshire, with her family and their two Labradors, affectionately known as Best Boy and Brat Boy. After a wonderful career as a primary school teacher (yes, it is as exhausting as everyone says!), and creating a little monster of her own, a chink of spare time saw her taking the leap into the unknown, fulfilling a lifelong desire to write a novel.

Rachel writes seasonal escapist women's fiction, combining exceptional 'wish you were here' locations with more than a touch of romantic drama for her main characters, and always with a lively group of supporting characters busy with their own escapades to resolve - after all, everyone deserves a happy ending.

With four seasonal novels already published, all of which earned places in Amazon's top 50 or 100 and held bestseller flags in their respective categories, Rachel is delighted to be bringing more characters to life in the pages of her new seasonal novels, to be published by Boldwood.
