I grew up in the Midwest but have lived in Seattle for most of my adult life. I'm lucky enough to live just a few blocks from Lake Washington where I love to take long romps with my dog, Phoebe.I also love to read. I've been reading my way across the country and occasionally blogging about it on my website: www.rachelbukey.com/coasttocoastbooks. When I'm not writing or reading, I enjoy running and hiking and exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
