Becky Lee Weyrich

1940

Becky Lee Weyrich, a native Georgian, was born on Margaret Mitchell's birthday, in a hospital that later became a library, and she was named for Daphine DuMaurier's REBECCA. So it seems only fitting she would become a writer. But before taking pen in hand , she spent her early career as a professional Navy wife and mother of two. For seventeen years she moved with her aviator husband from base to base, living in such diverse locations as Maine, Maryland, California, Flordia and Naples, Italy. Then returning to Georgia she resided on St. Simons Island for 24 years. She sold her first piece of fiction at the age of ten (to The Altanta Journal Magazine) and continued writing as a regional columnist, feature writer and historical novelist until retiring in 1999 when she became addicted to Golf. She began publishing fiction in 1978. She has written for various publishers in a variety of genres, including historical romance, fantasy, saga, Gothic, horror/mystery, contemporary and time travel. In 1991, she won Romantic Times magazine's Lifetime Achievement Award for New Age Fiction 1992, awarded the Certificate of Excellence in Career Achievement in Historical Fantasy and Reviewers' Choice Certificate of Excellence for "Sweet Forever" (Pinnacle Books, May 1992). Beginning as a nonfiction writer in 1960, she did freelance work for several newspapers and magazines. She also wrote and illustrated two of poetry before turning full time to fiction.
