Rachel Taylor Thompson lives in the central coast area of California with her husband, daughters, and a truly ridiculous number of animals (including but not limited to horses, rabbits, chickens, cats, a guinea pig, a bearded dragon, bees, and various wild animals that endlessly steal the cat food). She started writing after she and a group of friends played the game Two Truths and a Lie and not a single person guessed that 'I'm writing a book' was her lie. Since her friends had so much faith in her, she decided to go for it. Many years later, and she's still at it!

Lorelai Gilmore energy meets Fitzwilliam Darcy vibes packed with humor and clean, swoony, romantic banter. ****************************************************************** Eighteen-year-old Sasha Clems didn’t mean to steal a seadragon’s magic and tick-off a magic-handler. Or err… More correctly, she did. She just didn’t mean to get caught. Sasha is tired of being poor. Tired of foreclosure notices tacked to her family’s fridge, tired of working four jobs, tired of dreaming about college rather than attending. When one morning she witnesses a dying seadragon expel its magic in the form of a basketball-sized jewel, she grabs it. The last time this happened, the jewel sold in the high nine-figures, but only after a kidnapping, three deaths, and an international manhunt by the Magic-Handlers’ Alliance. No reward without a little risk. Sasha bolts off on a cross-country race to the single person she trusts to help auction...
