Rebecca lives in Herefordshire, on a smallholding. First published in 1999, with seventeen titles to her credit and another due Sept 2010. Seven of these are in the Cotswolds murder series, three are Rosemary and Thyme novels and the rest are in the first two crime series.  

My days are spent writing, spinning, tending the animals, gardening, reading, and playing computer games. I travel a lot, and have just had a wonderful trip to Syria with my oldest friend, Liz. I also play Bridge, and am writing a biography of Sabine Baring-Gould, great Victorian clergyman.
