BIO:
A life-long love of reading turned Becky into an indie author who writes historical, paranormal and fantasy romances, often combining the sub-genres. She lives in a small town in the Ozark Mountains with her husband and dogs. When she’s not writing or reading, she hikes in national parks and conservation areas.
Becky graduated from College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, Missouri with a B.A. in mass communications that’s gathering dust after it was determined that she’s better at writing fluff than hard news.
She serves as the webmistress and vice president during the 2011-2012 year for Ozarks Romance Authors in Springfield, Missouri and has been a member since 2009.
