Becca graduated with her B.S. in Interior Design in 2001 and became a Certified Interior Designer in 2004. After seven years of working her creative magic at two different architecture firms, she decided to “retire,” exchanging her badge for the titles of “full-time homeschool mom” and “full-time writer.”She finished her first book, Empath (the first novel in the Flawed series), in January of 2010 and has since been working on two other novels (with a third in the pre-writing phase), winning National Novel Writing Month 2010 in the process.
