Rachel Carrington is a little bit Jodi Picoult and a little bit
Nicholas Sparks all rolled into one astonishing author.
FAR

 

Rachel Carrington a successful business woman and multi-published author. She is the ideal independent woman we all want to be. Single and with a full schedule, she prefers to keep her affairs casual and not have the excess emotional baggage that normally comes with the relationship. Motivated, adventurous, and with a wicked sense of humor, she brings us stories we not only dive into but hate to see end..

Rachel writes dark paranormal and magical fantasies mixed with wizards, witches, and elves. From mystical worlds to the dark and dangerous corners of other universes, her books take you outside the bounds of reality and into the world where your imagination can take flight.

 

I currently write for Red Sage Publishing, Ellora's Cave, Samhain Publishing, Loose-Id, and Forbidden Publications.

I'm also the editor of Vintage Romance Publishing, a publisher specializing in nostalgic romances, heart-warming non-fiction, and romantic poetry. You can visit Vintage Romance on the web at www.vrpublishing.com.

A former career paralegal, I live outside of Charleston, South Carolina and am living my dream by being able to write and work with publishing on a full-time basis.

 

What is your favorite color?
Red because it's spicy.

What is your favorite quote?
This is always a tough question for me because I have favorite quotes for each subject. This is my favorite for beauty: People are like stained glass windows: they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light within.
~ Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

But I have favorites for success, motivation, determination, loss, money, love, etc. And it would take up waaay too much space to list them all.

What is your favorite pastime?
I don't just have one. I love to cross-stitch, go to movies, put jigsaw puzzles together, curl up on the sofa with a good book, watch a good movie at home, go out with my friends, shop for anything from home decor to clothes, and surf the net.

What music do you listen to?
 

A little bit of everything depending on what type of mood I'm in. Some of my favorite artists are: Daniel Bedingfield, Pussycat Dolls, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Tamela Mann, Uncle Kracker, Joe, and Avant.

What is your favorite kind of movies?
Romantic comedies like The Wedding Date or high-powered science fiction like Independence Day.

What books do you like to read?
Paranormal romance and non-fiction.

What are you reading now?
A New You--Words to Soothe the Mind, Body, and Spirit by Catherine Galasso-Vigorito.

What are your favorite scenes to write?
Romantic love scenes—the ones where the hero/heroine says that one line which sticks with the reader long after the last few words of the book are read.

What advice can your give for an aspiring writer?
Remember that a rejection of your work is not a rejection of you. Take that rejection as a challenge to make your work shine and yourself a better author. If you really want to be a writer, you have to do what it takes to improve your abilities, be willing to learn, be willing to change, and most of all, be willing to devote the time it takes to write every day.
