Author Biography
Rachael King is the author of two stand-alone middle-grade novels, Red Rocks (now a major television series) and The Grimmelings. She began performing at fifteen years old, only six weeks after she first picked up a bass, and went on to play with six bands, including The Cakekitchen and 3Ds. Rachael invented Violet and the Velvets to convey the joy of the DIY punk ethos and to show girls they don’t have to be singers or proficient musicians to be in a band.
