Author's Bio:

Rachel was born in Dayton Ohio to a already large family of 5. She was the baby of the family, and literally about killed her Mother on her entrance into the world. Rachel was the 5th child to a school teacher and truck driver and soon found herself as a child of a single Mom of 5 who was forced to work 3 jobs to support her children. So Rachel is no stranger to seeing and living what it means to be a virtuous woman, as she watched her Mother do it, and continue to do it. Rachel is a devoted wife, Mother of 4 and Founder of Women at the Well Ministries. She is an author and currently writing her first in-depth Bible Study. She has been the keynote speaker at Mother’s of Israel conference, and several of her local church’s women’s events.

Her passion is studying scripture and then teaching those lessons to others, with the goal that they will then turn around and pay it forward. Her #each one #teach one philosophy is her mission. She is passionate about helping women by giving them tools to help them break strong holds so they can pursue whatever the Lord has for them. So, training them up for the call! That is what spurred her ministry.

She knows that God didn’t create women to just sit around and get pedicures and swap recipes and tackle the dust bunnies everyday, but to be side by side with the men in fighting the war against evil and taking as many people to heaven with them as possible.

She now does life with her best friend, her husband Curt and will tell you, her children are the best kids on the earth. They love to do Bible studies together and love traveling with their family.

If she isn’t at home with her family, you will find her checking something off her bucket list! Her biggest so far would be competing in figure competitions, competing at the Arnold class in fitness, being in a beauty pageant representing her county as Mrs. Miami County in the Mrs. Ohio America pageant, and authoring a 30 day bible study devotional. And, she is only getting started.

She loves to weave her own personal stories in with her message, because she believes she is living her calling day by day, and sometimes it gets pretty funny!

Author interview:

How did you research for your book?
Well, I guess you can say I have been doing it everyday for the last 11 years of my life. I went into this Jesus thing both feet in. So, I have been reading and studying scripture everyday since. I never wanted to be a "church playing" Christian. I wanted to grow in wisdom, and that meant, I needed to have knowledge which only comes from the word of God.

If you could put yourself as a character in your book, who would you be?
I would be the Woman at the Well. She is actually what spurred my ministry and this Bible Study, because I relate to her. I was her! That lost woman, looking for love in all the wrong places. Trying to fill that Jesus sized whole in my heart with men, and other things....But after the encounter with Jesus, she too went ALL IN, and went and told everyone about it, (evangelized) which is what I do!

If you're a Mom writer, how do you balance your time?
My husband and I run 2 businesses and a ministry from home. So I have time freedom. My kids are in school all day, so I use that time to do what I need to do. I pride myself on being "present" with my kids. I am not on my phone, I don't even answer my phone when it's "kids" time. I don't talk on the phone while in the car with my kids for a couple reasons. 1. I cannot do 2 things at once. I have ended up lost on the highway one time from trying to talk on the phone and drive. and 2. I don't want my kids to think that the person on the phone is more important than them.

What is your next project?
Probably going to write one on marriage and co-author with my husband. They say, your ministry comes from your greatest wound, and our marriage was pretty messed up those first year's because neither of us had good pictures of what marriage is supposed to be growing up. Our mess became our message!

What is your writing schedule?
To be honest, I wait for inspiration. I wanted my Bible study to be spirit led and not led by my flesh. The Holy Spirit wrote this book. My first book was a little different. I think I rushed through that one! So, I learned my lesson to just let the Lord lead me on this project.

Author Interview
1. What was your favorite part of writing The Great Disneyland Scavenger Hunt?

What I love most about writing this book was seeing Disneyland again and again in different ways.
While I have been an annual pass holder for over twenty-five years, I saw the theme parks through new eyes and I have come to appreciate the details the Imagineers have put into the planning of Disneyland resort on a whole new level.

2. What is the funniest thing that has happened to you during your time at Disneyland?

One of the things I love to do when I am at Disneyland is entertain myself by interacting with guests and cast members. Many times I will stand in line for pictures with the characters. When I get have my time with Mickey Mouse or Cinderella I like to run to them, get a hug and then say, “I am so excited! I didn’t know we were see celebrities today.” The cast members laugh and the characters will react with surprise or play along with my silliness. I also love interacting with guests on the parks for the first time. It has been said that everyone is my best friend and one of my joys is to gab with people while standing in line, pointing out something they perhaps did not know or just finding out a little bit about their time in the parks.

3. What were some of the unexpected hurdles you faced while writing The Great Disneyland Scavenger Hunt?

After writing the first draft of The Great Disneyland Scavenger Hunt, I found that I had included too
much information and had to make the difficult decision what to share with my readers. This is a
tremendous challenge for me since I wanted to include everything about Disneyland and Disney’s
California Adventure but at the same time did not want to overwhelm someone visiting the Disney
resort for the first time. I feel now that I have done the theme park justice with this version but I look
forward to sharing much more with fans in the future.

4. If there were one thing you would want readers to remember about The Great Disneyland Scavenger Hunt, what would that be?

My goal in writing this book was to allow guests of Disneyland to see the magic created by Walt
Disney and his Imagineers. If my book brings the readers more joy to their time at the theme parks, I
have succeeded in my goal for writing this book. Walt Disney wanted parents and children to interact
together and I had the same goal with The Great Disneyland Scavenger Hunt. Readers will notice the
questions are broken down into one two or three stars. The one star questions are for first time visitors or families with small children. I want the kids to participate and feel like they are succeeding in finding the items within the book along with mom and dad.
