Rachel Sweasey is a historical fiction novelist. She lives in Australia, but bases her fiction in Poole, Dorset, where she grew up and which provides the inspiration for her WW2 stories. Rachel writes dual time-line stories, and is inspired by the writing of Kate Morton. Rachel's first book, The Last Boat Home, features the Poole RNLI lifeboat and the part it played in the Dunkirk evacuation, and also a delicious love affair on the shores of a gorgeous Mediterranean bay on the Cote d'Azur. Rachel's second book, The Island Girls, released on 21st October 2024 and also features Poole with a focus on the flying boats that operated in the harbour during WW2. Beautiful Brownsea Island is an important part of the setting where an Australian ranger, Rebekah, learns secrets that tie Poole to her home in Brisbane. A third WW2 book - yet to be given a cover and a title - is due for release in mid 2025. Rachel is working on another set of three books, also set in Poole but around the WW1 period. The first of these will include connections with the Titanic and the tragedy of its loss.
