Author: Rachael Costello

Rachael Costello is a twenty-two-year-old navy wife and stay-at-home mother of two, residing in Chesapeake, VA. She enjoys coffee at any hour and sharing raspberry ice cream with her best friend, who also happens to be her husband. She writes in her free time, which is often during sparse nap times or while silence fills her home at two o' clock in the morning. She stumbled upon her love for reading and writing at a young age, and since then she has written piles of works that very few eyes have ever seen. She dreams of one day publishing a novel in her favorite genre, young adult fantasy. Rachael cherishes her life in each moment that passes, admiring that although her dream job may feel unattainable at times, her real job rewards her with more smiles, laughter, and happiness than anything else she could ever do.
