Rachel Fordham est depuis longtemps fascinée par les détails historiques, entremêlant souvent des anecdotes historiques dans ses récits pour enfants. Malgré son amour pour les bonnes histoires, elle n'a commencé à écrire des romans qu'à la demande de son mari. Depuis lors, on la trouve souvent en train de taper ou de rechercher pendant que son plus jeune enfant fait la sieste, ou d'écrire frénétiquement des rebondissements dans la file d'attente pour venir chercher les enfants à l'école. En plus de sa passion pour la narration, elle aime lire, être à l'extérieur et découvrir de nouveaux endroits.
