Rachel Bowdler doesn’t make things easy for her characters. On the other hand, Neve’s stubbornness made me want to shake her repeatedly yet her fears are entirely understandable. She’s extremely sweet and funny and quirky and I’m sure she’ll live in my mind for a while. I was wrong and she grew on me, bad puns and all. She felt whiny and gullible and a pushover. In for a penny, in for a pound, once there Robin signs up for a couple of ski lessons, which turns out to be both the worst and the best idea she could have had. As Christmas approaches and, with it, the nightmare that are their mother’s holiday cooking and the extended family visiting, Robin’s sister convinces her to take advantage of the honeymoon since she already paid for it anyway. Not the most obvious choice when you live in the north of England but Robin didn’t have much say in that relationship.
When Robin’s fiancée cheated on her, the wedding was cancelled and Robin forgot about the honeymoon in a Canadian ski resort. Her festive debut novel, Honeymoon for One, will be brought to readers in 2022, with a further to follow later in the year, and this two-book deal will be announced in December 2021.ĭamn, this was sweet… And a little sad. When she isn’t assaulting her computer keyboard or daydreaming about fictional people in her pyjamas, you can find her cuddling and walking her talkative dog, Enzo, enjoying and photographing the rural scenery of the local Pennines, wishing it was time to put up her Christmas tree, and painting with watercolours (but not very well!). Her only wish now is that her words make readers feel warm and fuzzy inside – and maybe to see her book on a shelf one day. Her dream has always been to smell the pages of her own book, and she accomplished this after self-publishing her first novella, Paint Me Yours, in 2021.
After graduating from the University of Salford with a degree in English and Creative Writing, she delved briefly into the world of photography before becoming a freelance romance author, focusing on her passion of representing diverse characters and relationships in her stories, particularly with queer, curvy, and working-class protagonists. She was insistent on becoming a dancer until the first time she put pen to paper, and has been writing ever since. Rachel Bowdler grew up and still lives just outside of Manchester, on the edge of West Yorkshire.
