About me
Born as a dreamer, raised in a military family, I love to read, learn, and explore.
The story of
Rachel Josephson
I was born in Logan, Utah…but I did not stay there.
Utah. Kansas. Texas. Nebraska. Germany. George. California. Washington.
And now, Los Alamos, New Mexico.
These are the places where I have lived, and they shaped who I am. But nothing shaped me more than my family. Family is extremely important to me, and so my writing is often created as a gift to a particular family member. I write something I know they will love, because if there’s one thing I love (almost) as much as my family, it is a deliciously good book.
