Rachel Ellyn writes sharp, character-driven fiction that blends emotional depth, sly humor, and twisty suspense. After early work in children’s fiction and flash fiction, she found her stride crafting romantic suspense, comedic mysteries, and women’s psychological thrillers—with a dash of spice when the story demands it.
A lifelong observer of human nature (and questionable life choices), Rachel draws inspiration from her own adventures: several marriages, countless reinventions, and a hard-won understanding of what it means to “grow where you’re planted.”
Her voice is warm, witty, and unapologetically honest, earning her devoted readers across multiple genres.
Rachel currently lives in La Paz, BCS, Mexico, happily married to husband number four, the love of the rest of her life—and she means it this time.
This is a children's story about Neesa a Pixie that is newly born in a patch of Harebells (Bluebells) along the meadows of Cornwall. Pixies are only born in the summer. The story continues talking about reading her instruction book and she would be under the care of Mo Anam Cara. This is an interesting tale and I think children would love the story. It flowed nicely and was easy to read and understand. Fun read for children, I recommend. I received a Kindle eBook from the publisher from Goodreads Giveaways in exchange for a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
I love this story and plan to read it many times to my granddaughter. It has the most wonderful lessons with the best story. Everyone should read this fantastic book! Thanks Rachel!
