She’s been in the publishing industry for many years as a literary publicist; but in 2006, Rebeca decided to join the ranks of the published authors she represented. Creating a world of girlfriends and scrapbooking was such fun, she has written a whole series of scrapbooking novels, which currently includes Prints Charming; Sisters, Ink; and Coming Unglued.
