Rebecca loves life...

Rebecca was married for 
nearly 35 amazing years to Joe Mance who passed away in 2021. She has a grown married son who lives nearby.

Travel as a 50-something widow inspired Rebecca's new book series: "The Widow's Guide Travel." 

This fun travel series addresses the issues and challenges of a lone widow traveler, using travel as a tool to cope with grief and loss.  

Prior to her life as a writer, Rebecca started her career working for McDonnell Douglas where she implemented a "paperless factory" for process specifications when she was 19 years old.

She later designed, manufactured, and marketed a childhood-inspired doll "Princes Rebecca". 

Shifting gears, Rebecca obtained her B.A. in Law Studies from St. Mary's College of California and graduated with honors while working full time as a paralegal and legal assistant in San Francisco.

Rebecca now lives a blessed life on her estate Finnegan's Run with her five collies (Lillie, Maggie, Whiskey, Bourbon and Jack) with visits from her son and daughter-in-law.  

She is working on her next romance novels: "Star Dragon", "Duty, Honor and Country" and the third and fourth books of "The Widow's Guide To Travel" series.

"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass....it is about learning to dance in the rain."
