Chase, Rachelle: - Rachelle Chase is a senior business analyst for Fortune 500 companies and a published romance author with an interest in African American history. She currently lives in Iowa. Eight years ago, after stumbling upon Buxton, Iowa, while visiting a friend, she began researching it, promising herself she'd write a book about it one day. When she moved to Iowa four years ago, she finally did. Rachelle hopes that this book will raise awareness about the historical significance of Buxton--a town way ahead of its time--and help preserve what little is left of Buxton.
