Rachel Nightingale was a highly imaginative child who used to pretend she was a gypsy wandering the woods on her way home from school. Once she realized creating stories gave her magical powers she decided to become a writer. Some years, and many diversions later, she is the author of Harlequin’s Riddle, published by Odyssey Books, and also, rather unexpectedly, an award winning playwright. Columbine’s Tale, the sequel to Harlequin, will be released in September 2018. She is currently writing the final book of the Tales of Tarya trilogy, which by complete coincidence is about the power of creativity to shape the world, and desperately trying to ignore all the other stories clamoring for her attention. Rachel lives in Sydney Australia with a very bossy cat, her family, and the cutest dog in the world.
