Dark fantasy scene of a mysterious underwater city or cavern with a large dragon silhouette on the left, glowing jellyfish floating in the water, and ancient ruins with a tall castle or cathedral in the distance.

Not all secrets stay hidden.

Book cover for 'Asteria' by Rachel Leigh, featuring a silhouette of a girl holding a dagger, castles, pyramids, and a setting sun in a fantasy landscape with dragons and flying creatures.

Hi,

I’m Rachel.

A woman with short, reddish hair smiling outdoors with a blurred background of light-colored wall and green plants.

I write across genres—fantasy, thriller, literary fiction, poetry, and nonfiction.

From epic worlds shaped by ancient secrets to real-world examinations of leadership, power, systems, and teaming, my work explores what shapes people—and the worlds they inhabit.

What's a Street Team?

A small group of enthusiastic readers who help support a book launch by spreading the word in simple, authentic ways. You don’t need a large platform—just a love of books and a willingness to participate.

As a member, you'll be asked to:

  • Leave an honest review on release day

  • Share posts on social media and boost content by liking, commenting, or resharing

  • Help spread the word to friends or reading communities

We ask that members participate in good faith during the launch window and communicate if they’re unable to take part. This is meant to be fun, flexible, and community-driven.

In return, street team members receive advance reader copies, behind-the-scenes updates, and a whole heckuva lot of gratitude from this author and the entire publishing team. <3

If you love supporting indie authors and being part of a collaborative launch, then welcome! We can't wait to meet you.
