Don't Mess with a Princess

Rachel Valentine was born in Kent, moved all over the world, and has now moved back to Kent! She is the author of Audrey the Amazing Inventor and the bestselling Marmaduke series. Rachel can usually be found wandering round the countryside, day-dreaming and cogitating on stories. She lives with her husband, two sons, and a cheeky dog called Scout.

Rebecca began illustrating and writing for comics; self-publishing and selling short graphic novels about robots and bears. After deciding to start being grown up and study properly, she graduated in 2014 with a First Class Honors in Graphic Design, working then for a short time in children's publishing as a designer.

Her work captures little tales of silliness, often extracted from reality but imagination is usually invited to play too. She enjoys making urban fables that centre around characters and simple pleasures and always has time to bake a cake.
