Rebecca Stevenson is a native Texan, but marriage took her to New England—and the Maine coast stole her heart. She lives in Texas again, but frequent trips back to the Northeast inspired the settings for her Wentworth Cove series and her newest release, Mirthwood Cottage.

A former English and creative writing teacher, she thought if she could teach writing, she should be able to do it. Those thoughts and some brainstorming sessions with her daughter led to her first novel, Another Summer, set in a picturesque coastal village in Maine. From that debut novel, the four-book Wentworth Cove series was born.

The Trinity Springs series came about from a desire to write about her home state of Texas—complete with horses, ranches, and line dancing. New Song is the first book in the series.

Mirthwood Cottage, set in a lakeside village in New Hampshire, is her ninth novel. When she's not writing, Rebecca enjoys spending time with friends and family, reading, and watching movies. She's already at work on her next book in the Porter Falls, New Hampshire series.
