Rachel Radner

Rachel Radner is a former Pennsylvanian who will always miss Wawa. After graduating from Penn State, she spent several years acting in theatre and small films (you can even spot her dancing alongside Bradley Cooper in Silver Linings Playbook).

Her path took a (kind of) surprising detour into IT, where she worked in various roles such as help desk, system administration, and network engineering. Still, after finishing her first book in 2012, she realized storytelling—not servers—was where her heart belonged.

When she’s not writing or drinking coffee, Rachel can usually be found geeking out about Star Wars or Saturday Night Live. She now lives in Los Angeles, where she writes about dark, brooding heroes and the women who fall for them.
