edit data

Rachel Rafferty writes contemporary women's fiction set in Ireland. Her stories contain female protagonists in their thirties and forties facing life challenges with varying degrees of success. The books are lighthearted and accessible, often sprinkled with humour.

Rachel fell in love with writing during a career break when her children were young. If she could stop for one second to tidy her house, she would, but those blank pages get filled quicker than the mop bucket every time!

She lives in Dublin, Ireland, with her family of five and big dreams.
