Rachael Craw

Thanks @clairemabey.bsky.social for this gorgeous shout out in The Spinoff’s Best Books of 2025!! 💕✨

I’m back here briefly to say that the Guardian’s asking for nominations for your favourite children’s picture book and I’d be thrilled if you’d nominate my debut: MY NANNA IS A NINJA. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

It was a very good news day for The Lost Saint which made The Listener Top 50 Kids Books for 2025 list. ‘Schools out, hormones are hot!’ Which is very encouraging as I am wrapping up Bk 2 and happy to report that the ‘mix of fantasy, romance, history and religion’ is still quite ‘brutal and heady’.

This is a power move! Everyone will want to wash their hands now!

Bloody cowards.

Guys! I get to interview the one and only @calliehartauthor.bsky.social next month!! Eep!! What is life? If you’ve got a burning question about the hotties and the horrors in this epic doorstop romantasy, #Quicksilver, be sure to drop them in the comments! Book your tickets now! 🔗 in bio!

Come join us for a great chat Sunday arvo with Andrea Eames and Rachael King 2.30pm at Tūranga! Let’s talk magic and kissing! #WORDCHCH

It’s my first day writing full time. Naturally, I spent the morning getting groceries and cleaning dog vomit from the car seat.

The audiobook is available globally, via Bolinda - and an absolute banger, it is! There are also a few foreign language translations underway. Sign up to my newsletter for updates on new projects. 🤓 rachaelcraw.com/contact/

It’s a funny old world, publishing. My US rights for The Lost Saint have reverted back to me now 8th Note Press has closed its doors. So book 2 is on hold while we consider our next steps. However, The Lost Saint, Bk 1 remains available via Allen & Unwin in New Zealand & Australia. 1/2

I’m always surprised by the subtle differences between editions! Which one do you like best?

And it’s terribly cold and there’s one cloak to wrap around them and he’s been perilously injured and she must tend his wounds in front of the fire when they reach the abandoned cabin in the wintry woods.
Just sayin’ 💅🏻
