I knew I was inbred, but my family tree is just getting more insane the more I look into it. I just discovered my ancestors were running a Game of Thrones war with each other in the Middle Ages. On one side, my ancestors Robert, the Earl of Gloucester, and his half-sister Empress Matilda, the heir apparent of King Henry the 1st, and John Marshal, the Father of my 5 times Great-grandfather William Marshal. 5 of his children were my ancestors. He is known as the greatest knight. Who was given to their enemy, my other ancestor King Stephen, by John as a hostage. John played Stephen false by joining forces with the Empress and her brother. So Stephen decided to give the young William back with a catapult. The boy was young, he played on the catapult, rocking it, and he charmed Stephen with his childish cuteness. He ordered William to be taken down from it. The boy asked to play with Stephen's weapons and charmed him completely. He made a friend of the king with his cuteness.
It saved his life and mine. William's father thought William was expendable, as he could have more children. William became a co-regent of England with another ancestor of mine, Hubert de Burgh who was accused of killing another ancestor of mine, King John's half-brother, William Longsword, the Earl of Salisbury, uncle to my other ancestor, Henry the third. Honestly, no one would think of such an insane family as mine. As whispered from the past in my blood.
True not fiction. Even I'd not think of this, it is too crazy.

Rachel is a poet-writer versed in prose as much as she is rhyme. She loves to weave words and for the most part has no idea where the words are leading her to, she finds it the fun way to write.
In author's words on her writing style from her poem The Flow of Magical Words.
"I love words, which pour easily from my pen,
when I put pen to paper a world of words does open,
it flows on the page it's soul mate,
though no one can read the scrawl of words which well inside and opens a gate,
out comes beauty, rhymes of passion, sage words and gloom,
rhyming poem, deathly prose dark as the hand of doom,
the right word is magic in my hand,
like a lover sigh lightly fanned."
