Rebecca Henry is a 22-year-old school librarian from Swindon. Obsessed with words since she was young, she is a proud word nerd and fills her spare time buried in books, writing random stuff, and learning new things. Some of that spare time is also spent on YouTube and accidental procrastination. She has written many things which make her cringe and a few things which she is happy with, but is nonetheless always thinking and imagining. She has no pets because a horse will not fit comfortably in the back garden.
