ⓘ About Rachel Aukes
She did the college thing: both undergrad (go UNI Panthers!) and graduate (go Drake Bulldogs!). Before going out into the “real” world and figuring out that jobs are much too much work and too little pay. Alas, bills (not to mention all of her college loans) needed to be paid, so she made a career out of helping companies navigate through change, which basically means she is a professional problem solver. In this role, she served as director of IT Strategy for Aviva North America, VP of Technology at Wells Fargo, and later as a change agent for companies across the United States. She has also taught at Upper Iowa University for more than a decade, warping the minds of tomorrow’s workforce. She is lucky to write full time and couldn’t imagine doing anything else. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Bounty Hunter Books series, Rachel Aukes has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
