Armed with a degree in English and a goal to write for Conde Nast, Maddy set out into the world, only to discover following your dreams sometimes takes a circuitous route.

After working for over a decade in the corporate world, she finally started to pay attention to the voices that endlessly filled her head.

First writing paranormal romances under the pen name, Rachel Madbury, Maddy decided she wanted a little less "end of the world" and a lot more witty banter. And thus the Holden Cove series was born.

Balancing both a day job and an author career is not for the faint of heart, but with her faithful coonhound, Gus, by her side, Maddy spends every minute she can chasing her dream of bringing her love stories to life.
