About Becca
Becca Kinzer lives in Springfield, Illinois where she works as a critical care nurse. When she’s not taking care of sick patients or reminding her husband and two kids that frozen chicken nuggets is a gourmet meal, she enjoys making up lighthearted stories with serious laughs. She is a 2018 ACFW First Impressions Contest winner, a 2019 Genesis Contest winner, 2021 Cascade Award winner, and all-around champion coffee drinker. Dear Henry, Love Edith is her debut novel.
And for those of you who simply must know more:
I grew up in the Hog Capital of the World—Kewanee, Illinois. Try not to be jealous.
In second grade I received a journal for Christmas. I haven’t stopped writing since.
My favorite actor of all time is Jimmy Stewart. I cried (at the tender age of fourteen) the day he died.
In 2010 I biked from Nashville, TN to Baton Rouge, LA on a tandem bicycle with my then boyfriend, now husband. He continues to dream that someday we’ll go on a coast to coast bike trip. I continue to dream that someday he’ll forget that dream.
I spent my first seven years as a nurse working at a regional burn center. Since then I’ve worked on an ICU that has specialized at one time or another in trauma, surgery, neurology/stroke, and COVID.
I went skydiving once (and once was enough).
I secretly scoff whenever nursing students tell me Grey’s Anatomy inspired them to become a nurse.
I openly admit a 1980’s television miniseries about the Civil War called The Blue and the Gray inspired me to become a nurse.
I love a good story. I love making people laugh. And I would love nothing more than to connect with you. Find me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Goodreads, use the contact page, or subscribe to my newsletter.
Oh—and one other thing. I might be slightly obsessed with my pets.
