I first ‘met’ Rachael when she joined a Facebook group I’m in. At the time, the overriding mood in the group (NZ children’s and YA authors) could probably be summed up as gloom. Publishers closing down, pitiful royalties, the usual suspects. Rachael burst into the group like an enthusiastic puppy, ‘liking’ everything, writing fun comments into threads – sometimes a few words, sometimes just a LOL and several exclamation marks. YA author? Of course (eye roll).
