Rachael Long


Biography

I live in Somerset, England (UK) and have been writing short stories and poetry for an awfully long time. However, fed up with rejection slips, I was on the verge of giving up when I discovered Smashwords.
I have a quirky sense of humour - Monty Python: abstract, surreal. English sardonic might sum it up.
What do I like? Reading; non fiction, historical. Music: everything from Bach to Beatles to punk. And when I'm not doing anything else, I cook, bake and make preserves too.
What I would really like to find is, an illustrator with a similar sense of humour, who would like to draw my creations.
