Rebecca Storey was born in Nottingham and grew up in Milton Keynes. She has always been interested in writing ever since she filled in a notebook, aged six, of stories based on Beatrix Potter characters. Her first novella was written at the age of twelve, influenced by book characters she had grown up with during childhood.
A more serious approach to independent writing took place during her GCSEs, when her first novel was produced, about a lion cub in Moorish Spain, followed a year later by its sequel. A selection of poems came afterwards, with one winning a place in the anthology "Falling Leaves".
Rebecca studied English at the University of Birmingham and continued all the while practising a particular writing style. Throughout the three years of undergraduate study and training to be a primary school teacher at the same university, she wrote three books under the trilogy title "Dragon Speaker," stating that this was the project she felt the "most passionate about" since starting writing.
Books that had (and still have) a profound influence on her include WHITE FANG, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, CHRONICLES OF ANCIENT DARKNESS and LIFE OF PI.
