Ash the Claustrophobic Mole

Hardcastle, E. Rachael: - I'm an Amazon international #1 bestselling author from Bradford, UK, and the founder of Curious Cat Books independent publishing house. ​As a speculative fiction author, I believe in entertaining my readers by offering a temporary escape from reality. Whilst I aspire to write fun, addictive adventures with characters my readers can relate to, I need to write meaningful and emotive stories alongside them to explore the depths of what it is to be human-in doing so, I can encourage people to also look within.I feel through writing we face our darkest fears, explore infinite new worlds and realise our true purpose. Creative writing helps me to understand what my purpose is.I have diplomas in Successful Self-Publishing and Journal Therapy, alongside a university Business Studies qualification and many other writing-related achievements. I'm also a trained copy-editor and publishing coach, and now run Curious Cat Books, an indie publishing house designed to help overwhelmed debut authors.
