The Unofficial Version

Hi! I am Rachel! My favourite thing in the world is books! 

I live in Toronto Canada and when I am not reading or writing I work as a literary agent for William K Jensen Literary Agency.      While other kids my age fell in love with Narnia and Avonlea,  I only ever wanted to go to Vienna.  Fortunately I have now spent a lot of time there exploring and writing and it plays a major part in many of my books.   I love church architectural history and am a classic movie buff. I  have seen the musical Les Miserables on three different continents. I am a lifelong Sherlockian. I am from a small town in Ontario set on a lake.   I love live theatre (especially musicals!) and I love to travel-- but prefer to go solo.  I am scared of heights and my favourite food is sushi. I am addicted to Hallmark Christmas movies.   My favourite movie is Master and Commander and my favourite tv shows are Foyle's War and Endeavour.
