Rachel Saylor's Blog

I'm still kicking around over here. I've finally managed to find some time and inspiration (a hard combination to come by) to write a bit recently, and I thought I'd update the ol' blog. I'm working on a story that's been kicking around in my head ever since I finished Through Painted Glass. I've been living with these characters for quite a while now, and they've undergone quite a few changes since I first met them several years ago, but I'm really captivated by their story and I'm hoping to d...

A few things have changed around here on this website. They may not mean anything at all to the average user, but I wanted to announce them properly just to let everyone know. As most of you are aware by now, there's this thing called the GDPR which is causing basically any company to send out updated privacy policies. Now this whole thing gets a bit murky when it comes to a website like this, a small, indy author page where I just update on my writings to what I believe is a mainly American...

The pumpkins are coming, the pumpkins are coming! Yep, it’s totally fall, y’all. So here’s a bit of an update on where things stand now.

I’m working on new project. It’s a super sloooow process right now, but it’s beginning to take shape. Will that shape be a novella, a full-length novel, or something that goes straight to the rubbish bin? Only time, word counts, and perspective can tell. Right now the characters are getting fleshed out, the story is starting to form into an actual thing, and...

Look at that, it's Spring already. The birds are hopping around, my little tot is trying to sprout a lima bean in a plastic baggie taped to our window, and the sunny days make me feel gloriously lazy. Just thought I would check in with you all and give a little update on things.

I'm not writing, not currently. I mean, I am currently writing this blog post, but I'm not currently working on any new material. I'm letting a few things percolate around in my head right now. I have one entire short...

New Year's Eve, the day we say goodbye to 2016 and everything that happened in it. As we say our goodbyes to 2016 and look forward to everything 2017 could bring, I want to take a moment here to say how much I appreciate all of the support you all have given me through this year. I sort of sprung the new book release on you all without much warning as busy mom-life has prevented me from doing too much in the whole blogverse. I know I don't give many updates here, but when I do it means so muc...

It's here! Well, almost. After so so so much revision and many a long night poured into it, my latest book will be available soon. Through Painted Glass is something I'm excited to share with you all. It's a Young Adult Science Fiction/ Fantasy novel that has powders which can control someone's emotions and mirrors that can transport you to another world. Fair warning to young readers or parents of young readers, this one is a bit darker with some more mature elements than my debut novel. Hig...
