At fifteen, Rebecca Price Janney faced-off with the editor of her local newspaper. She wanted to write for the paper; he nearly laughed her out of the office, when she displayed her ace-a portfolio of celebrity interviews she'd written for a bigger publication's teen supplement. By the next month, she was covering the Philadelphia Phillies. During Rebecca's senior year in high school, Seventeen published her first magazine article and in conjunction with the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, named her a runner-up in their teen-of-the-year contest. She's now the author of twenty-one published books including two mystery series, as well as hundreds of magazine and newspaper articles. Her other books include: Easton at the Forks, Easton in the Valley, Great Women in American History, Great Stories in American History, Great Events in American History, and Great Letters in American History, along with Harriet Tubman, Then Comes Marriage? and Who Goes There? A popular speaker, Rebecca also appears on radio and TV shows. She's a graduate of Lafayette College and Princeton Theological Seminary, and she received her doctorate from Biblical Seminary where she focused on the role of women in American history. She lives with her husband and son in suburban Philadelphia.
