The Snake's Nest

Rebecca has been obsessed with two things since she learned to walk and talk: stories and animals. Luckily, the two seem to be very compatible. Rebecca writes stories set in strange worlds filled with bizarre creatures, strong female characters and magical powers. She started her writing career as a poet, performing all over the country and publishing her first collection, Octopus Medicine, with Two Rivers Press in 2017. In addition to writing, Rebecca is also a teacher and, in 2018, decided that she wanted to write quality books for the young people she works withm as well as for adults. Her books tend towards themes of respect for the environment, protecting the planet and the new generations challenging the old to face up to their mistakes. She lives in Reading, UK, with her unusual family, which includes herself, her partner, and a gregarious and feisty quaker parrot (called Maya).
