Before turning to writing, USA Today bestselling crime author Rachel Amphlett played guitar in bands, earned her Equity card as a TV and film extra, dabbled in radio as a presenter and freelance producer for the BBC, and worked in publishing as an editorial assistant.

She now wields a pen instead of a plectrum and writes crime fiction with over 40 novels and short stories featuring spies, detectives, and assassins.

Rachel is also the writer and host of the Case Files: short crime fiction stories podcast. A keen traveller and accidental private investigator, she has both Australian and British citizenship.
