About the author
Rebecca King
231 books101 followersI live in Leicestershire in the United Kingdom where I currently spend my time reading, anything and everything, but mostly books about Cornish smuggling, ghosts and mysteries (Mmmm, I think there is a story there somewhere!)
My love for books has grown throughout my life, fed by my relentless daydreaming. As a child I was always told by my teachers that I daydreamed too much. As an adult, I frequently find myself reading and mentally re-writing the stories, when I read something and feel it could have been done better.
Several people have asked me what inspired me to start writing. Well, I was haunted! Literally. I had a story that just wouldn't leave me. It kept going around and around in my mind, being the first thing I thought of when I woke up, and the last thing I thought about before I went to sleep. I was driven to get the ideas down on paper, initially in a rough draft. But still the stories in my head wouldn't leave me and I soon found myself embellishing my notes and turning them into a book. Thus the Cavendish Mysteries was born. As a working mum, I spent my evenings when the children were tucked up in bed tapping away on my laptop. I still do, and find the 'muse' flows better at night without the constant interruptions of, 'mum, can I have', and 'mum, I'm hungry'.
As soon as I started writing the words flew onto the screen, and I found I couldn't stop. More and more stories came forth and I knew I had to remain true to my dream and turn my passion for writing stories into a job.
It has been a long and very bumpy road, but I do sincerely hope the stories I write bring people pleasure.
I do believe everything in life is a learning journey, put before us to enrich us as we travel life's pathway. I try to learn from all feedback received, and fully appreciate that one cannot please everyone all of the time. There will be people who love my books; in turn there will be people who hate them, but I hope that the majority of people love them.
