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, Rebecca embarked on a career in technology public relations, which led to a stint as an executive communications manager at a Fortune 500 technology company in Silicon Valley. After more than a decade of writing words ascribed to other people, in December 2014 she quit her job to pursue writing full time. Rebecca lives with her husband and beautiful-but-neurotic cat in Oakland,… California. When not creating fictional worlds inhabited by strong women, rakes, rogues, and dashing heroes, she is planning her next vacation, trying out new recipes, or drinking Islay scotch.
