Vital Stats and Appearance:

• Name:
  Rebekah A. My middle name is my mom’s name.
• Nicknames:
  You really want to know my nicknames? I’ll give you a most common ones or this would be too long of a post: Bekah, Bek, Rebek, BehBeh (created my my oldest niece who couldn’t quite say “Bekah” and now all my nieces and nephews and their cousins call me that.)
• Birthday:
  Same day as my mom and my aunt. April 22.
• Hair color and length:
  My hair is medium brown with hints of some red it it. It’s curly and just past my shoulders.
• Eye color:
  Brown. Sorry, they’re not golden-brown, or dark brown. They’re just brown.
• Braces/Piercings:
  None. I’ve never had braces, and never was interested in getting my ears (or anything else) pierced.
• Righty or Lefty?
  Righty.
• Ethnicity:
  I’m an American! Though if you go back far enough you’ll find I came from English, German, and Irish stock.

Firsts:

• First novel ever written:
  Home Fires of the Great War – Unless you count pretend letters I wrote with some friends before I even thought of writing and publishing my stories.
• First Novel Completed:
  The same one as above.
• Award for Writing:
  None.
• First Publication:
  I first published Home Fires in 2010 with Xulon Press.
• Conference:
  I really couldn’t say. As an author I have no idea since my brother has a business selling books and stuff, and we’ve been attending conferences for 20 years.
• Query/Pitch:
  I don’t pitch my books (they don’t make good baseballs), and I’ve never been interested in sending out any query letters.

Favorites:

• Novel (that you wrote):
  You would ask that, wouldn’t you? I really don’t know. Through the Tunnel, Gift from the Storm, and Hymns in the Hills (which is not published yet) might be among my top favorites. But then so would Home Fires, Christmas Smiles, and . . .
• Genre:
  Christian Fiction! It might be historical or modern, but both fit that genre. 🙂
• Author:
  Isabella Alden (Pansy) is my all time favorite author though there are many, many others that I really like.
• Writing Music:
  None. I don’t write with music on. I just can’t concentrate. My mind drifts away here and there with the music and I’m left with nothing written.
• Time to Write:
  Late afternoons and evenings.
• Movie:
  Little Lord Fauntleroy, Follow Me, Boys or the TV show Sue Thomas F.B.Eye. I can’t decide. Or there’s Sound of Music. It all depends on what mood I’m in.
• Writing Memory:
  The amazing excitement when my first book arrived in the mail. I was published!
• Childhood Book:
  Nancy Plays Nurse and Little Black a Pony.

Currently:

• Reading:
  Bright Eyes–The story of Susette La Lfesche, an Omaha Indian by Dorothy Clarke Wilson and enjoying it.
• Writing:
  The report for the latest class of the MO Highway Patrol Community Alliance and wishing I could work on my November short story. But I also have Hymns in the Hills and By Paths Unknown that are waiting for me to get back to them. And soon I’ll be writing Christmas stories! *excited squeals because I LOVE Christmas stories*
• Listening to:
  Nothing
• Learning:
  How to juggle multiple projects at once without getting stressed. 🙂

Future:

• Want to publish:
  Hymns in the Hills, By Paths Unknown, His Law Is Love, Christmas Quilts, and more.
• Wildest Goal:
  Visiting all 50 states. Well, no one said it had to be a writing goal.

There you go. Now you know more about me. I hope it was interesting. If you want to do this tag, feel free to do so. And leave me a comment so I can go read it. Or if you want to just do it as a comment, that works for me too. 🙂
