Biography

Dekker was born to author Ted Dekker and Lee Ann Dekker, and spent most of her early years in the mountains of Colorado before relocating to Tennessee where she graduated with a degree in communications and spent several years in marketing and corporate recruiting before transitioning to writing full time. Rachelle was inspired early on to discover truth through the avenue of storytelling. She writes full time from her home in Nashville, where she lives with her husband, Daniel, and their diva cat Blair.[3]

Dekker's debut, The Choosing, released in May 2015, and is listed as the first book in the Seer Series.[4] USA Today describes The Choosing as a "quest of the heart", saying "its message will resonate within any reader who has ever been made to feel 'less than.'"[5] According to Publishers Weekly, "The strong female heroine will appeal to teen readers, and adults and teens alike may also enjoy the themes of corruption and religion, absolute human power, and government as god."[6]
