Rachelle Cochran wrote and self-published her first book at age six. Though not exactly the most thought-provoking story, it started a lifelong passion for writing. A native of northern Minnesota, the land of sky blue waters and deep forests, Rachelle grew up in a small town—all of which inspire her writing. Rachelle now lives in a tiny cottage overlooking the tempestuous Lake Superior with her son and daughter. She works as a coffee barista in a funky bakery/coffeehouse in Duluth. The colorful customers and the sound of freshwater waves crashing on the shore provide endless inspiration for her stories and poems. You can contact Rachelle at rachelle.cochran@gmail.com.
