📚 Rachel Rowbottom 📚

It's been five years since I began writing ITSOAS, and today I'm finally able to share it with the world. 🌤️ In The Shadow of A Sunbeam is a pro-life contemporary Christian novel about heavy topics like divorce, abuse, and hope in the darkest shadow. amazon.com/Shadow-Sunbeam…

@once_darkness @authoradraeanna AHHHHHH YESSSSS

I SAID YES!!! To my final cover design, that is 🤩 Still not 100% sure this is real but MY BOOK HAS A COVER AND IT'S COMING OUT LATER THIS YEARRRR

@2ProbablyNever @RoyalBlueRapto1 🤣 I think it did.

@RoyalBlueRapto1 @rr_author I am over here gasping, did the quiz call Flounder obese

Oh nooooo 😭😂😂

It just got worse. The lawyer for Noelia Castillo Ramos' father has allegedly stated: "Noelia requested a 6-month postponement of her euthanasia to take the time to think, which was denied to her." Straight up execution.

@WriteforLife6 Me this week 🤣

You can pry my banter out of my cold, dead, uno-card-clutching hands 😆 - Admin E ✍️ #WritingCommunity #amwriting

@authoradraeanna This is what always happens. 🤣 I haven’t even posted anything all month 🙈

Every week on Insta... Me: This post will do well. *Post then proceeds to not do well* Me: Ah, I just threw this together. It probably won't do well. *Post gets a bunch of views/likes/comments* I still don't know what I am doing on SM

@once_darkness I'm so happy with how it turned out!!! Your story is so beautiful, it needed a cover to match.🧡

Made it to Friday! Even if it was tough, we're here💙 Today I'm thankful for @rr_author somehow making my cover for Dawn even more gorgeous & matching the series?! 🥺 It was an exciting break from the craziness to upload it to my site & other places😁 What are you thankful for?

@once_darkness 🫂💕 She was an amazing person! Thank you for sharing her memory.

I miss being inspired by her dedication and work ethic. I miss her so much. I am not a whole person without her. But I can still remember her, still love her, still take joy in every moment we shared

On my sister's birthday, I'd like to share a little bit about her 💕 She was a talented athlete, running marathons, half-marathons, & triathlons and often placing near/at the top of her age/gender. She shared this love & mentored young girls by volunteering her time as a coach

What's your WIP/book as research topics? FOTS had me researching: ⛵️EVERYTHING about sailing ⛓️Press Gangs 🥘Food eaten on ships 👊Knockout punches ⛏️Coal mines & pit ponies 🤕Concussion symptoms 🥤Dehydration symptoms ♟️Quirkat

@once_darkness Me too!!!

@rr_author RACHEL I AM SCREAMING

My WIP is making me emotional again, for very different reasons. "I shall never be more than a bastard to you.” His lip curled. “Well, keep him—the traitor of Azmar, the grandson of your dreams. At least I played a role in this joyous family reunion.”

@threnye Lots of experimentation! And finding covers you like.

How does one decide on a cover design concept?

@2ProbablyNever They're the best! Aww, thank you.

@rr_author I love lilacs so much😍😍😍 they suit you

me and my favourite flowers 😆 But wild roses are a very close second. How can I only pick one?

@threnye These are lilacs! They don’t have a very long season, but they smell so good.

@rr_author Oooh, pretty! What kind are they? And wild roses are so lovely!

@AristaeH yess you’re both so elegant!

Hmm

@2ProbablyNever twins!!!

I don't see it

@rr_author Rachel, my heart!

Captain Plume looked past her to Earwyn, and again his eyes welled with tears. “My son…” His voice grew husky. “I never doubted you for a moment.” Earwyn swallowed against the lump in his throat and dipped his head in acknowledgment.

@MESivils I hope readers think so! 👏🏻🥹

@rr_author Oh, this sounds very emotional indeed. 🥹
