Rebecca Zanetti wrote her first story when she was six – a romance between a princess and neighboring prince. The princess fell out of her castle and the prince rescued her. A happily ever after was had by all.
This theme of romance has been carried through Rebecca's works until present time. While today’s heroine may have a medical degree, black belt in Karate and her own 401K, she’s still after that happy ending. And today’s prince may have fangs and wear a black hat, but hey, a modern princess likes a guy who bites.
Growing up amid the glorious backdrops and winter wonderlands of the Pacific Northwest has given Rebecca fantastic scenery and adventures to weave into her stories. She still resides there with her husband, children and extended family who inspire her every day.
Rebecca has completed several manuscripts, winning awards throughout the writing industry for her work. Recently, she finished FATED, the first book of a three book vampire series, 'THE DARK PROTECTORS,' which will be available early 2011 from Kensington Publishing. This series showcases her writing talents to present a new and exciting world set amongst everyday America.
