My name is Rachel, and I love books!
I love reading them, talking about them, and writing them!
I rarely go anywhere without a book in my hand (or in my bag). I’ll read just about anything, but my favorite genres are chick-lit and young adult. Sophie Kinsella, Gemma Townley, Liz Young, Marion Keyes, Meg Cabot, Jane Green, Harriet Evans, Carole Matthews, Sarah Dessen, and J.K. Rowling are some of my favorite authors.
Recently I decided to take the plunge and direct my love of books into writing my own novels. I’m so happy I did! I find writing to be one of the most satisfying experiences I have ever had! I hope I can share my love of stories and story telling with lots of readers.
When I’m not writing (or reading) I am most likely spending time with family (I have five siblings and seven nieces and nephews) or my dog, Lucy. I have an unhealthy addiction to reality television (Bravo, TLC, and HGTV are my downfalls) and I enjoy watching hockey–go Red Wings! In my free time, I enjoy decorating cakes and baking.
I live in Michigan. I enjoy spending time outside, especially in the forests and by the lakes in the northern part of the state. Camping, hiking, and boating are some of my favorite activities. And, of course, there’s nowhere better to read a good book than out in nature.
Thank you for spending time on my site. My books are available as paperbacks and ebooks. You’ll find links under the ‘books’ tab. Please check ‘em out!

I’m so glad I found your blog. I live in Michigan as well. Good luck with publishing your book. Looking forward to reading more posts from you.
Thanks for stopping by, Kate! Publishing has been very fun so far:)
Hi,

Please feel free to spread the word and let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks, Amy! Your site looks awesome! I tweeted the news:)
Hi Rachel! I just loved your books! I am actually hoping to entice you into joining Goodreads.com, a website I just love that makes it really easy to follow your favorite authors (or readers). Because you are a published author, you already have a profile on Goodreads:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5049499.Rachel_Schurig
If you join Goodreads, you can claim this author profile and make it your own!
Here’s hoping you do. Otherwise, I’ll just stay tuned to the blog! =)
Thank you so much, Starla! I’m so glad you enjoyed the series, your kind words make me so happy! I will definitely check out goodreads–I’ve been on there before but never really explored it fully. Thanks for the tip! I’m working on something else right now, but keep your eyes peeled for the Three Girls 9and Danny, too!) as I’m sure they’ll be making a comeback!
I have a review for your book, Three Girls and a Wedding! Email me at katepolicani@gmail.com and I’ll send you my review for your approval.
Thanks so much, Kate! I emailed you back:)
