Rachel Stanley lives in the Northwest of England. She has always wanted to write stories but only found the time to put pen to paper after a dream about a Grim Reaper. True story!

She's spent most of her adult life working as a project manager, despite her degree being in psychology. Her degree comes in handy though, helping her to understand people and their different motivations. Rachel loves people watching!

Rachel lives with her husband, David, and their two cats, Cooper and Watson, who feature in her "A Grim" series. She loves to travel and intends on seeing as much of the world as possible in her lifetime. Much of her writing is actually done when she is on one of her trips (at home or abroad). She can often be found at the side of a

I was lent The Belgariad and The Mallorean when I was eight or nine years old and I've read them at least once a year since then. The lad that lent me those books never did get them back because I wore them out! Don't worry, I eventually replaced them for him with a whole new set. (less)

I recently bought Stephen King's 'On Writing' because I've read some good reviews about it and wondered if it might help me with my own writing. I'm also looking to read as many indie author books as possible while also slotting in one or two of my favourites (for instance there is a new Jim Butcher out). I try not to read too much when I'm writing though because I find I get so wrapped up in what I'm reading that I 'forget' to write and at the minute I'm working on part two of my A Grim series (A Grim Haunt). However, when the sun shines it would be rude not to sit outside and enjoy it so I'm sure I'll get through one or two. Check out my "to read" list if you want to see what I've decided to try based on your reviews.(less)

Queen of Dragons is the conclusion to the Dragon Born Trilogy (although I believe the author has 8 books out in this whole series). As with book two in the trilogy, it's full of grammar mistakes and plot holes so big that you could drive a bus throug ...more

Compared to book one, Magic-Born Dragon is a disappointing read and I didn't think all that much of book one. I continued because the story in book one was good enough and it ended on a cliff hanger. Book two is riddled with mistakes and the story li ...more

The Ballad of Falling Dragons was a bit slower to start than the first of the series. but once it got going, I thought it was better than the first. It packed real emotion into the ending.
