Rebecca was born in East Sussex and grew up in a bustling vicarage always filled with family, friends, and parishioners. She read English at the University of Warwick before she trained as a criminal lawyer, and more recently worked as a mental health advocate at a psychiatric unit. She now lives by the sea in Jersey with her family and thoroughly enjoys coastal life, particularly bodyboarding and walking on the cliffs. She also likes to let off steam with a boxing session and is obsessed with board games, especially Cluedo.

 

Rebecca's novels have become bestsellers, two of them reaching the No. 1 spot on the UK Kindle charts, proving popular with readers interested in cosy romantic and family dramas that offer the perfect mix of escapism and realism. She was nominated for the Romantic Novel Awards in 2020.

A word from Rebecca about her first book, Christmas at the Vicarage:

"I was inspired by Rosamunde Pilcher, my favourite author, whose books I've re-read so many times. There's something wonderfully poignant and uplifting about her novels and so when I set about writing my first book, I wanted it to be similarly feel-good. They always say write about what you know and so I decided to focus on vicarage life as I grew up in a village parish as the daughter of an eccentric vicar. When my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer it was the final push I needed to write a book based on life at a vicarage, with a character inspired by him (the vicar, of course!). He read the book in draft but sadly died before it was published. He'd have been thrilled to know that I'm now working full-time as a writer."
