USA Today and Amazon best-selling author, Rebecca Forster, wrote her first book on a crazy dare and found her passion. With over 40 books to her name, she was published by Harper Collins, Penguin Putnam, Pockets Books and others before becoming an independent author. A firm believer in hands-on research to make her books thrillingly realistic, she is a graduate of the ATF and DEA Citizen Academies, numerous weapons courses, and spends a great deal of time court-watching. Rebecca has also landed by tail hook and spent two days on an aircraft carrier. She taught at the UCLA Writers program and is married to a superior court judge.
