Readers can download Rebecca’s first historical fantasy at (pen name Rebecca East) for $.99 at https://amzn.com/dp/B000ZVQAGM/. It’s a tale of a stranded time traveler in Pompeii. One reviewer called it “Cinderella in Pompeii”; Rebecca prefers to think of it as “Upstairs/ Downstairs in Ancient Rome”. See https://www.rebeccawarnerauthor.net/p... for examples of ancient art that inspired the story. She plans to change the title and cover, revise based on reader feedback, and reissue her novel within a few years. For now, she hopes this story may inspire reader interest for her next book. Current work in progress is historical fantasy set in 13th century southern France. Brief description: The Lady of Mirefoix faces a crisis when the brutal husband she believed dead returns from the Crusades. She turns to magic to protect Mirefoix. But the spell never works as expected, and the souls she summons have desires of their own. See www.rebeccawarnerauthor.net for information and updates.Her interests include reading, nature walks, and Italian greyhounds. The first thing an Italian greyhound has to learn in her house is that nothing happens before Mommy has her coffee.Rebecca loves to hear from readers!Rebeccawarner1021@gmail.com",

            "name": "John Steinbeck",
            "bio": "John Ernst Steinbeck Jr. (1902-1968) was an American writer. He wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Grapes of Wrath, published in 1939, and the novella, Of Mice and Men, published in 1937. In all, he wrote twenty-five books, including sixteen novels, six non-fiction books and several collections of short stories. In 1962, Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize for Literature.Steinbeck grew up in the Salinas Valley region of California, a culturally diverse place of rich migratory and immigrant history. This upbringing imparted a regionalistic flavor to his writing, giving many of his works a distinct sense of place. Steinbeck moved briefly to New York City, but soon returned home to California to begin his career as a writer. Most of his earlier work dealt with subjects familiar to him from his formative years. An exception was his first novel Cup of Gold which concerns the pirate Henry Morgan, whose adventures had captured Steinbeck's imagination as a child.In his subsequent novels, Steinbeck found a more authentic voice by drawing upon direct memories of his life in California. Later, he used real historical conditions and events in the first half of 20th century America, which he had experienced first-hand as a reporter. Steinbeck often populated his stories with struggling characters; his works examined the lives of the working class and migrant workers during the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. His later body of work reflected his wide range of interests, including marine biology, politics, religion, history, and mythology. One of his last published works was Travels with Charley, a travelogue of a road trip he took in 1960 to rediscover America. He died in 1968 in New York of a heart attack, and his ashes are interred in Salinas.Seventeen of his works, including The Grapes of Wrath (1940), Cannery Row (1945), The Pearl (1947), and East of Eden (1952), went on to become Hollywood films, and Steinbeck also achieved success as a Hollywood writer, receiving an Academy Award nomination for Best Story in 1944 for Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat.",
