Becky Stockdale was born in Weston-Super-Mare and moved to Chesterfield when she was 8 years old. She fell in love with Derbyshire, the people and the countryside, and has many happy memories there with family and friends over the past 23 years. She still lives in Chesterfield with her fiancé and their two cats, Luna and Lily.
Becky has always had a love and passion for books, reading and writing, as well as film and television. She has a National Diploma in Creative Media and still enjoys photography which she learned at college.
Today, you'll likely find her in her reading chair, enjoying the works of her favourite authors, or with her laptop, writing new novels. Either way, she's lost in a world of fiction, one of her favourite places to be.
