Hi Rachel. I have received my book today that I won in GR Hiding but the book was made wrong. They cut the took of the book wrong so the cover name is cut in half and through out the book the first few lines in each page is cut off. It came from Amazon but not sure how I can return it. Can you let me know a solution thanks?

Rachel Runnalls I'm sorry to hear that! I checked the website and I would try 'return a gift' at this link:

I will get in touch with my publisher to make sure this doesn't happen again. Thanks for letting me know!

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Rachel Runnalls I wrote 'HIDING - every scar has a story' out of my own wrestle with the hard stories I heard from my friends in high school, and youth I worked with both inside the church and at a youth emergency shelter in my city. I am a pastor's kid, and my home life growing up was safe and loving. When I was 14 a friend of mine disclosed some of their history of family abuse and it really hit me - how could that happen? And then as I grew older, the question became - how could a supposedly good God let that happen? So a lot of Jon White's character and home life come out of my own experience wrestling with doubt and the church.

I was really swept up with Cary's story in Hiding. Any plans for a sequel?

Rachel Runnalls Yes! After seven years walking with these characters, I am still thinking and writing about them. SPOILER ALERT. It's one thing to write a rescue story - we've all read those and the 'happily ever after' they assume. Real life is far more complex, and that complexity has always interested me as a writer. This early in the writing process I'm not sure if I have a full-length novel in the making, but I will find creative ways to share it when it is finished.
