Rebecca's collection of published titles is as diverse as her passion for diversity. All of her books are dyslexia-friendly. For 6-10 year-olds she has a series of full-colour illustrated picture books about a private investigator penguin. For 10-12 year-olds she has a trilogy of chapter books inspired by the Fortnite video game. Her young adult novels, suitable for 14+, involve inspiring young women discovering their core strengths and overcoming physical, mental, and societal challenges. And her non-fiction workbook helps aspiring novelists tell their stories.
