Hi, I'm Rebecca.

Once upon a time, I worked as a molecular biologist. But then I traded my lab coat for a laptop and became a writer. I've published over 80 books for young readers, ranging from preschoolers all the way up to teens. My magazine stories have appeared in places like Spider, Muse, and Science News for Students.

Feel free to cozy up with a cup of your favorite hot concoction while you explore my site. You can learn more about me, visit my books page, or check out some of my magazine stories.
