Arizona native Rachel Robins spent the first few decades of her life baking in the desert. When 120ºF weather began to wear a little thin, she vacated the Valley of the Sun for the cooler, greener climes of Seattle, Washington. Rachel’s writing fuel is drawn from the pool of her experience gained from various backgrounds such as food service to sales, nonprofit work with children to academia. The latter of which has been her focus for the last 8 years. She holds a Bachelor in Arts in Christian Studies, an Associate of Arts in English, and a Certificate in Creative Writing. Rachel is a recent MFA graduate from Seton Hill University for Writing Popular Fiction, and while she’s dabbled in a variety of genres like fantasy, steampunk, dieselpunk, noir, and scifi she tends to favor urban fantasy, comedy, and horror.

In her few moments of leisure, she divides her time by crafting, crocheting, and attempting to costume her two cats in between daily writing sessions. Rachel maintains an everlasting fondness for absurdity and a morbid penchant for unicorns, because after all, they are an excellent source of sparkles. Her first novel features monsters, mindreading, and military. Oh, madness, too. Let's not forget that.

Rachel is currently seeking representation.
