Barbara Rachel is the pen name for a native Washingtonian who lives in suburban Maryland with her husband, children, and a dog named Biscuit (as in the cookie, not the breakfast side).

When not fretting over her writing, Barbara may be found working overnight at a local hospital, hiking with her dog, chasing after her children, combing through family genealogy records, or hiding out at home—lost in a romance book or movie, usually something much darker and spicier than she writes.

I try to embrace my overt, no-one-who-meets-me-second-guesses ADHD as a diagnosis as a kind of superpower.

For example, who can write a debut novel in one year while working the night shift, full time and (mostly) not ignoring my family? This hyper-focused individual right here.

The downside...

“Whether either of us wants this or not, my screwed-up brain has decided that you’re mine, and I don’t fucking share, Ryan. Do you understand me?”

“That’s it, straight boy. Come for me.” “No. Fuck you!” I spat, and he chuckled. “You’re going to come, Ryan; there’s no point in fighting it. You’re going to shoot your load all over that bitch’s corpse, then you’re going to clean it up like the good boy I know you are.”
― Alexandra St. Pierre, The Mercenary and the Mortician

Alexandra St.  Pierre
“Fuck being normal, Ryan. Normal is boring. I love that you see dead people. I think it’s bad fucking ass that you live in a funeral home. On top of that, I think it’s hot that you’re a freckly red-headed man who likes gardening. Everything about you is attractive to me. You’re my lil’ spooky ginger boy, and I love the shit out of you.”
― Alexandra St. Pierre, The Mercenary and the Mortician
