​Hi, I'm Rachael. Thank you for coming to my website and blog. I'm a mum of 2 girls and most recently a self published author & illustrator. My first children's book 'Bedtime - The Sleepy Adventures of Penelope Pineapplehead' was published on Amazon in November 2017!

I am also an ME sufferer and am working to build awareness of ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). My third book 'Invisible' was written to help explain invisible illness to children and it has received some wonderful reviews.
Please check out my INVISIBLE page for more details.

I am very lucky to be making new friends within the ME community. These inspirational people are using their experiences of ME to try and make fellow sufferers feel like they are not alone. It has made me aware that there may be many more people who would love to be authors but because of the illnesses they suffer with they have not been able to make it a reality (whether it be ME or another hidden disability.)

My project HIDDEN WORDS aims to give those people a voice and a chance to share their stories. I am looking to work with people who want to be authors but find it too difficult to put pen to paper, or struggle to use a tablet or computer for very long. Instead, they can record their story on a voice recorder and send me the files so that I can put it together for them. I will also create illustrations if required and edit the books. It is then up to the author whether they want to approach a publishing company or to self publish on websites like Create Space by Amazon.

I will not charge any up front costs but would ask that it is a joint project, and therefore we would work out a suitable divide of any royalties or profits from future sales. Please contact me for more details.

Keep an eye on my website, Facebook page and Twitter for details of my future releases.

Happy reading and ALWAYS DREAM BIG!

I am also an avid charity fundraiser and have added a page to share my previous events and to inform you of any upcoming fundraising news.
I am based in West Yorkshire.

Kindest regards, Rachael
