Rachel Byrne

I LOVE to read, especially thrillers, mysteries, YA, or anything that gets me to keep turning the page. I was a shy kid who hid in the corner with my book instead of going to recess, and not much has changed!

A proud Colorado native, I used the gorgeous Rocky Mountains as a backdrop for Predestined. When I'm not writing, I'm skiing, playing tennis, or playing with my dogs.
