    Rachel G. Carrington

    Rachel G. Carrington est née dans le Kentucky et a vécu dans l'Ohio et à Hawaï, mais vit maintenant en Floride. Elle continue d'être active dans son écriture, bien que quelque peu limitée par un problème de vision. À un rythme plus lent, elle est toujours capable de suivre les activités qu'elle aime le plus, la lecture, l'écriture et les déplacements limités (limités en raison de la sensibilisation à la pandémie). Son livre, The Early Years, est actuellement en cours de publication en traduction française et sera bientôt disponible à l'achat. Ses livres, ses informations sur le site Web et son scénario seront exposés à la London Book Fair en avril.
