About Rachel Banzhaf

I am a cat mom and person mom, ages 2 (x3 - kitten multipack), 10, and 13 (the human). I work in accounting and listen to audiobooks while doing the numbers thing. I enjoy low-stress cozy fantasy novels and LitRPG primarily, often wandering into middle grade territory. In constant search of the next great fantasy farming, magical girl, and pretentious Regency England fantasy story.
