Escape Reality, Experience Possibility
Rebecca Laffar-Smith always yearned to explore the wonders of this world and beyond. After twelve years as a freelance copywriter and editor, she gave up writing about the non-fiction world in favour of fantastical creatures and the fanciful things she could create and immortalise in fiction. Now she writes in the moments she can steal away from homeschooling her Autistic son, raising her creative daughter, and volunteering as an events coordinator and mentor for her local writing community. She dreams of someday running a writer's retreat on the outskirts of Perth and writing her stories in a detached, hexagonal room with dozen's of bookshelves and plenty of natural light.
