Author bio

Rebecca Raisin writes heartwarming romance from Perth, Australia, and her novels are easy to spot once you know the signs: bookshops, cafés, market stalls, dreamy travel settings, and heroines trying to put themselves back together after life takes a sharp turn. Her stories are warm, funny, and deeply interested in what happens after the wobble, when a person has to decide whether to stay stuck or start again.

She has said she loved reading as a little girl.

Before novels took over, Raisin dreamed of being a journalist and always had a soft spot for words. In interviews, she has said she began writing seriously when she was home full-time with her twin boys, and once she started, she realized she did not want to stop. She has even joked that if she stays away from the keyboard too long, she starts missing her fictional friends.

That mix of affection and discipline still shows in the way she talks about work. She writes most weekdays, tends to draft quickly, and then slows right down for editing, which she has called her favorite part of the process. The result is fiction that feels breezy and comforting, but usually has a solid emotional spine underneath all the pastries, scenery, and meet-cutes.

Travel matters in her books.

A lot of Raisin’s best-known novels run on the pleasure of going somewhere else for a while. The Little Bookshop on the Seine sends a Connecticut bookseller to Paris for a shop swap that turns out to be much less romantic, and much more interesting, than she imagined. Rosie’s Travelling Tea Shop turns heartbreak into a road trip, complete with a bright pink campervan. Later books like The Little Venice Bookshop and Summer at the Santorini Bookshop keep that same feeling going, mixing romance with the sense that a new place can crack open a new version of you.

She also loves bookish settings and close-knit communities. Elodie’s Library of Second Chances is built around a struggling library and the stories people carry with them. The Gingerbread Café books lean into small-town charm, festive baking, and the everyday chaos of work, friendship, and falling in love. Even when the settings change, from Paris streets to snow-dusted lodges to beachside escapes, there is usually a shop, stall, or shared space where people find each other.

Her heroes tend to be solid rather than flashy, and her heroines are often a little awkward, a little bruised, and much funnier than they first realize. Breakups, job disasters, grief, family pressure, and sudden moves are common starting points, but Raisin does not stay gloomy for long. What readers get instead is recovery with good scenery, gentle humor, and a strong belief that friendship matters almost as much as romance.

That is probably why her books have built such a loyal audience. She has published short stories in anthologies and fiction magazines as well as novels, and her book A Love Letter to Paris won the Contemporary Romantic Novel Award from the Romantic Novelists’ Association in 2025. Rosie’s Travelling Tea Shop was also optioned for film, which makes sense for a story that already feels ready-made for the screen.

She still writes from Perth, and that distance is part of the charm. From Western Australia she keeps dreaming up Paris bookshops, Lapland campervans, Connecticut cafés, and sunny island escapes, then inviting readers along. If you come to Rebecca Raisin looking for comfort, movement, and people worth cheering on, that is exactly what she tends to give you.
