about me

I live in Birmingham, UK and I have worked in the contemporary arts for many years, originally coming from a live music background. I have always had an interest in writing and over the years have written a few arts reviews and contributed to the writing and production of a number of community-based productions for theatre and short film and singlehandedly took on an adaptation of a novel by Amos Tutualo "Pauper, Brawler, Slanderer". Having written short stories in the past, my goal now is to write novels.

I have enjoyed my time so far on Authonomy, and would like to thank everyone who has given me support by backing my book Dreamscape and / or leaving comments.

I will always try to reciprocate with reads where possible, but if I miss you out by mistake, please send me a message. If I feel I have something of value to say or add, I will leave comments.

Rachael Cox

Strange dreams unfold a story of discovery and intrigue, and initiate a journey beyond this world to uncover a family’s dark past.


A live planet explodes, hurtling its shattered remains through space with unknown effects. Fifty years later, fragments find their way into our solar system, settling where they make contact.


Another fifty years on and fourteen year old Carly sets out on a quest to find her true identity and to find her twin. Carly was put into care and her identity hidden, why she does not know, but intends to find out. She has strange visions and dreams, that feel like they come from a previous life. They lead her on a journey to discover herself, her family and the dark secrets within it.


The alien rock is always present and always relevant to this quest for truth and may pose new possibilities which impact on the future. In a society controlled by the authority and administrated by the Corporation, there are many barriers to overcome in her quest, for anyone else this would be near impossible. But with visions to guide her and the help of her “gifted” friends Carly will not give up until she discovers the truth.

I really enjoyed the opening chapters of this book. Chapter 1 is very well written and draws the reader in with great descriptions and mystery. Chapter 2 I found a little too much information about age, height and attire, some is good but it became a bit much in places. I love the characters and t... view book
