Writing Buddy Wednesday - Rachel Bailey

Rachel Bailey is a USA Today bestselling author and now Ms Prez of Romance Writers of Australia. She is one of the sweetest, most supportive people I know, and is constantly looking out for others. As such, she has volunteered for RWAus in all sorts of roles. You can't keep a good woman like Rachel down.

I've known Rachel since we did the inaugral Claytons conference together, which now seems like a lifetime ago, and got to know her better at Bootcamp (she was the organiser) and her time as Hearts Talk editor.

Rachel writes for Harlequin Desire (formerly Silhouette Desire). Her stories are sensual and have a lot of emotion, and I love seeing the Rachel sense of humour make some appearance as well.

Her current release is Million-Dollar Amnesia Scandal.

 Truth, Lies and Seduction...
An accident left April Fairchild with no memory, ownership of a multimilliondollar hotel and the nagging sense something wasn't quite right in her life. It also brought her intensely sexy businessman Seth Kentrell, whose late brother had left her the property. Seth believed her a gold digger - and how could April deny it, when she couldn't even remember her name? Now Seth was ready to play hardball to get the hotel back.
But April knew enough to refuse to sign over the property until her memory returned. And if that meant Seth needed to persuade her... well, that was something she could enjoy! At least until the whole truth came out...

You can find out more about Rachel at her website, and find her with the rest of the LoveCats over at the LoveCats DownUnder blog, as well as the Desire authors blog.


Upcoming release - Oct 11 (US), Nov (Aus/NZ)

Here's Rachel's backlist....

 



I hope this entices you to pick up one of Rachel's books.

So good to see a spotlight on the GORGEOUS, TOTALLY GIVING Rachel! Everyone should buy her books. In fact I might get a t-shirt about her :)

Hey, Eleni and Rachel!

Eleni, I just had to swing by the tavern to say hello when I saw that your visitor for "Writing Buddy Wednesday" was the lovely Rachel! So cool to see her in the spotlight here!

She's tireless, an awesome writing buddy and, lucky lucky me, I get to meet her fabulous characters in draft!

Go Rachel!

:)

Aw, Eleni, thanks for the gorgeous post! I'm glad to count you as one of my writing buddies. :)

Rach, yep, T-shirts might definitely be in order. "I'm the other Rachel. Honest. There are two of us." ;)

Sharon, yes, you meet my characters in draft - and then you help make them the final versions. So lucky ME!

Dana, you are one of the sweetest people I know. Thanks for the kind words. :)

Eleni Konstantine said...

Rach! A T-shirt is a fab idea. I expect to see you in it at next conference :)

Hi Sharon and Dana, lovely to see you both here.

Hi Rachel! It's unanimous, we all love you. You are not only a talented writer, but are good people. Mwah!

Congrats on taking over at Madame Prez, Rachel! All your 'behind the scenes' hard work is much appreciated. Love the sound of your latest story and very jealous that Sharon gets inside sneak peeks!! Look forward to reading it :-)

Ju Dimello said...

Did someone mention T-shirts :) I'd go for it too!!

Great meeting you here, at Eleni's, Rachel !!

I wouldn't mind a sneak peek on your books beforehand ;) but then, I can always pick it up after the release..LOL ;) Sometimes I do struggle for patience.. !!

Did I mention, all your covers are awesome? They're cute!

Becca said...

What a great spotlight on a great writer.

I'm glad I know so many fab Rach(a)els.
=)

Eleni Konstantine said...

Hi Helene, Ju, and Bec! Glad you can drop in.

Rachel Bailey said...

Helene, thanks to you too, for all the behind the scenes work you do for RWA!

Ju, I've been blessed by the cover fairy! I have a book out next Feb called What Happens in Charleston... and the art department are working on its cover now. I can't wait to see it, which means I share your patience problem, lol.

Bec, it's funny with the name Rach(a)el - lots of times I'm the only Rachel, but other times there are quite a few of us. Thanks for the sweet words. :)

Eleni, thanks for spotlighting me - this has been fun!
