It’s been super weird writing a book where the main character is supposed to be a bit of a dick. Frankie is dear to me because she’s so hopelessly clueless but she has a heart of gold and is trying to make sense of the adult world when she still wants to indulge her selfishness. These excellent excerpts from one review made me cry at first because I took them so seriously. If your put yourself into a character and people don’t like them, it’s personal. But now, I kind of love it. I was a self obsessed, self observed teen (spoiler alert, I still am) but I loved my friends with all my heart and just wanted to belong (spoiler alert, I still do!). . . . . #punk #punkgirls #music #author #releaseday #thepunkfactor #writer #reviews https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp6hcinlvtx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xzk9hsmenq85

Track List - The Punk Factor

Track List – The Punk Factor

There are 33 awesome songs from the track list of The Punk Factor. It was easily my favourite to do. Some iconic, brilliant, and some barely known but brilliant punk artists.

Keep checking back as I update this list daily.

  Bikini Kill – Rebel Girl

If there’s a defining track for punk girls, this surely has to be it. A riotous track, dirty and fierce.  I love the fact the single version was…

The Punk Factor

I can’t believe I have a third book coming out. The Punk Factor is a really important book to me because it was the first book that I just let go and wrote ‘me’. Well me at 17. I also wanted to write in bad decisions that didn’t always have dreadful consequences, since I think that basically defined my teen years.

Anyway, enough spiel, here’s the guff:

‘Punk rock is just another word for freedom’…

Today was all about low and slow cooking and beer. A balmy 29 degrees and nothing better than slamming some meat on and forgetting it for 6 hours until it’s after 1. Loving getting back into cooking again after the kids sucked all the joy out of it for me... ‘it’s disgusting’ is my two year olds favourite phrase right now. 😏 my #wip is all about food, but I can’t seem to get my MC out of her bedroom at the moment. Since she sprained her ankle foraging for wild garlic she’s been enjoying being tended to by Fergus the horse doctor a little too much. #itallturnedtocustard #lovehighland #books #romance #womansfiction #romcom #writing #author life #good #foodie https://www.instagram.com/p/BmoK-6slBzG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=anv7ti4og47m

Here it is! My third and best BEST book. Frankie and her all girl punk band scam their way to glory.

Starting 2018 as I finished 2017: tired and with last nights eye makeup still on. Hey, so this year a few promises. 1. To be more real about the lows as well as the highs. I don’t want to hear another woman ask me ‘how I do it’ because I’m doing it like everyone else. Just barely. Not enough sleep. As best as I can some days. And some days I fail at everything except Netflix binging. 2. I want to write a screen play. A thriller. And another YA book about food 3. I want to spend more time with people I love. 4. I want to be more politically active. 5. LESS PLASTIC. 6. A more plant based diet. 7. Generally consume less. 8. Spend more time on the floor with the kids. Happy New Year All. Love, Rebecca. ❤️🥂 #writer #writersofinstagram #author #kidlit #movies #tired #mum #mom

I read this book in 24 hours and it was beautiful. I wish I could write with this much warmth. The way Rebecca dealt with teenage pregnancy was just so real. ❤️ Modelled here by a future fierce and fabulous heroine like Audrey. ❤️😍 #amazingreads #books #bookish #yabooks
