Rachel Wells is a mother, writer and cat lover. She lives in Devon
with her family and her pets and believes in the magic of animals.
Rachel grew up in Devon but lived in London in her twenties working
in marketing and living in a tiny flat with an elderly rescued cat,
Albert. After having a child she moved back to Devon and decided to
take the plunge and juggle motherhood with writing.
She has always wanted to write and found her voice in her first
novel, 'Alfie the Doorstep Cat'. She has always had cats as pets,
ever since a young child. Rachel is delighted to have been able to
combine her two main passions at last. 'Alfie the Holiday Cat' is
her fourth book.
