Rachel A. Marks (a.k.a. Pixydust to all her author and artist friends) is
the mother of four wonderful children, wife to the most amazing guy on the planet, and a recent cancer survivor. She loves
to ride dirt bikes with her family and owns a quilting art business called, Pixy's Garden, designing bags and other fun crazy
accoutrements.
Being a native
SoCal girl, she grew up at the beach, playing in tide pools and reveling in the ocean--she even fancied herself a mermaid
at one time. In her spare time her favorite thing to do is nestle in the corner of a bookstore with her laptop or sketchbook,
creating new worlds with words and images. She's a member of SCBWI, a graduate of Orson Scott Card's literary boot camp, and
is working to publish her first novel. She also had the privilege of being presented with the True Grit Award from Mount Herman Writer's Conference.
