REBECCA TUCKER was born in Tampa, FL, though she grew up on the outskirts of D.C., having been adopted at seven weeks old. In 1987, she came out at the ripe old age of 14 and jumped feet first into the world of street activism, fighting for AIDS funding and civil rights.

​

She earned a BA in English, as well as a BS in Operational Meteorology (at 44), and now splits her time between writing fiction and working as a marketing director for an international research and consulting firm. Prior to her current work, Rebecca also worked as a bookstore manager, a script ghost writer and reader for a film production company, a security guard, a baker, and a copywriter, to name just a few! 

​

When she’s not at her desk, she is busy pursuing numerous geeky hobbies such as astronomy, rockhounding, fossil hunting, and fostering kittens. She lives in South Central Texas with her wife of 21 years, two dogs, and a few cats, the true number of which she will never reveal.
