Her first book Jillaroo being one of my favourites and her new book The Girl and the Ghost Grey Mare is due out 1st October. Love that the Penguin’s feature 🙂 Below is her view from the window…I’m jealous! Rachael: “Here is my writing space!

I love having my work space here as I can get up and create in the night at any time

Having said that when the floods were on in January I did keep my eyes glued
