About Becca
Becca Kinzer lives in Springfield, Illinois where she works as a critical care nurse. When she’s not busy taking care of sick patients or using up all the storage on her phone with pictures of her dog, she enjoys making up lighthearted stories with serious laughs. She is the author of multiple titles including Dear Henry, Love Edith, which won the 2024 Carol Award for debut novel, and Love in Tandem.
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 dog.
