About
Rachael Anne Long

Rachael Anne Long is the author of several ebooks, including the anarchic animal adventure Reginald, Prince of Baboons; a short story fiction collection, First Person Singular; The Tale of One Tree about an wanted, travelling tree and most recently, she has published Victorian crime thriller, The Carpetbagger and a WW2 story, Moon Over Midnight - that tells the fictional story of a Canadian bomber pilot. If asked about her books, Rachael would say, "I write about the idiosyncratic; characters that come out of the left field, the ones who get left behind, ignored, and in situations that seemingly appear normal but change, flip. For instance, The Tale of One Tree is about being isolated, 'othered' and as a consequence, finding unexpected options. As for Reginald - well, what can be said? You'll need to read it! The Carpetbagger isn't the book you think it is. This is a story about identity and navigating difficult situations - it isn't clear cut, edges are blurred." Rachael has previously worked for government departments and a national children’s charity. She lives in Somerset, south west England with her orange rescue cat where she writes, bakes, makes hedgerow jams and marmalade.
