Rebecca Caudill read her first novel when she was just four years old and has been hooked on books ever since. When she wasn't writing her own stories, she was sneaking copies of her mom's romance paperbacks to read late into the night. After graduating from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Journalism, she embarked on a career in technology public relations representing some of the world's hottest start-ups and publicly traded companies. After more than dozen years in the business, she quit to pursue writing full time. Today Rebecca lives in Oakland, California, with her husband and cat. When not creating fictional worlds inhabited by strong women and dashing heroes, she is planning her next vacation, trying out new recipes, or drinking Islay scotch.
