"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."

About
 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.
Bio
I'm a multi-published author of fantasy, paranormal and
contemporary romance. I currently write for Ellora's Cave,
Samhain Publishing, and Loose-Id.
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
Vintage Romance Publishing.
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 an amazing author!"

Faq
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.
