Hi! I'm Rachel Huffmire, an award winning author who writes futuristic fairytale retellings with twisty plots and happily ever afters. I believe there is courage in compassion, and I tell stories about optimistic heroes who change the world.

I live with my husband, three children, and a library of books that is slowly overtaking our house. It’s not my fault. When I'm not writing, I enjoy baking apple pastries, taking long naps, and wearing warm cardigans.

If you love fairytale retellings too, you can sign up for my monthly newsletter at Rachelhuffmire.com for a community that loves folklore, fiction, and fantasy! You can also chat with me on Instagram @rachelhuffmire. ...more
