Grab the Groom title with blood splatter

After my literary fiction debut, I was in the mood to write something fun… and outrageous. My second book, Grab the Groom, is a satire of reality TV dating shows and the lookism and fat phobia that goes along with them. In this dark comedy, I think you’ll be surprised how much trouble a homely little girl and a ghost from the golden age of cinema can get into.

“An engaging epic about loss, loneliness, and desire that perfectly encapsulates relatable human struggles.”
Kirkus Reviews

The e-book and print editions of my first novel Under Water came out February 2024. Order the e-book on Amazon.

Rachel Callaghan writes for relief from the seemingly endless renovation of a pre-revolutionary house.

She’s helped by her husband and their German shepherd, a tracker in search and rescue. They are all annoyed by the addition of a small, insomniac black tomcat.
