Rachel Cude is the author of The Tranquil Path, a lockdown novella about hope and survival.
In childhood, Rachel was a complete bookworm, quite happily curling up with her latest reading material for an entire weekend, emerging only when told to eat! Even before the letters made sense, she knew she wanted to write a book of her own one day.
After a degree in English Literature, Rachel pursued a successful career in financial services, and started a happy family life with husband Paul, and two daughters, no less lovely for being teenagers now.
Something about lockdown triggered her writing gene, with her debut novella being the result.
