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’ve been waiting to share this one! Ana & Leon’s first encounter after she tumbles into the past and he inadvertently chases her off a cliff. Ouch. Neither of them know what to make of the other. linktr.ee/rachael.craw #TheLostSaint

Happy Valentine’s Day, book lovers! To celebrate, I’m sharing more character art from The Lost Saint. Here’s Ana and Leon sizing each other up. Worlds colliding. Sparks flying. The whole bit. It’s exciting and terrifying to know advanced reading copies are going out even now!😅 linktr.ee/rachael.craw

Whoa … my new book, which has not been published yet has 2 reviews from 2 months ago. There weren’t even ARCs out 2 months ago! I don’t think any ARCs have gone out yet? And one person has given it 4/5. 🤣 Bloody hell! Did I lose a star because the cover hasn’t been loaded on Goodreads? 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣

Its map reveal time!! Here is Eadin, the magical, mysterious (and yes, fictional) setting for The Lost Saint. My eyeballs are so very happy! Amazing job by artist and designer Marcus Pallas who also created the beautiful cover art for The Lost Saint. #8thNotePress #Allen&UnwinNZ

My vision board for The Lost Saint is starting to overflow. Here’s an aesthetic for the FMC, Ana Taylor-Hall, aspiring actor, academic failure, recently heartbroken, about to fall afoul of the space time continuum and stumble into the midst of a medieval battle. 🔗 linktr.ee/rachael.craw

Introducing: Leon Alvero, 19 year old palace guard. Sensible, practical, down to earth, loyal and not easily won over. Needless to say when Leon and Ana’s paths cross two very different worlds collide. The Lost Saint is out end of April 2025! You can pre-order now! ✨💕

I have character art for The Lost Saint to share real soon!! Here’s a wee glimpse of the FMC, Ana! She’s 18, recently dumped, failed her end of year exams, her uni prospects in jeopardy and has no idea she’s about to stumble into a medieval battle.

Editing takes me all over the house. From office to lounge to dining table to bed. 2nd pass proofs for The Lost Saint. I’m excited for this book but why am I always working through summer? 😭 At least it’s cold outside and I don’t feel like I’m missing out on the beach.
