Appropriately enough, Rachel Lee's life reads like a novel. Name a part of America and the odds are she has resided there -- from the frozen North (Michigan) to the deep South (Florida), from the low-lying hills of the old West (Texas) to the heights of the Rockies (Colorado), and all three coasts of the contiguous United States.
She can also recite a string of occupations to go with her travels: selling houses on top of mountains, acting as a security specialist to the U.S. Department of Defense, programming computers, working as an optician and more. However, it seems she was merely gathering experiences for her true calling: writing. "I've been writing since I was eight -- it all started with a grade-three school play -- but it's only since 1990 that I've been able to do it full-time. It's a dream come true, every single minute of it."
Little did Rachel realize that a Sleepless in Seattle-style romance of her own was to result from selling her first book, AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN, to Silhouette Books in 1990. Determined to learn more about her new career, Rachel joined an online writers' group. Imagine the budding romance writer's surprise when she fell in love with another member of the group. "I discovered that it is still possible to nurture a romance with the written word. We met face-to-face after seven months of steady correspondence, and a week later we moved in together."
Rachel is the winner of four Romantic Times magazine Reviewers' Choice Awards, including the Lifetime Achievement Award, and is a five-time finalist for the Romance Writers of America's RITA® Award.
