Astor, Rachel: - Rachel Astor is equal parts country girl and city dweller who spends an alarming amount of time correcting the word "hte". Rachel has had a lot of jobs (bookseller, realtor, 834 assorted admin roles), but none as, ahem, interesting, as when she waitressed at a bar named after a dog. She is now a USA TODAY bestselling author who splits her time between the city, the lake, and as many made-up worlds as possible. You can find her online at www.rachelastor.net.
