Becky Citra
Biography: Becky Citra lives on a ranch in a tiny community called Bridge Lake with her husband Larry and her daughter Meghan. Her joy of writing began when she was a child. An avid reader of The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, she started scribbling her own mystery series at 11 years old. She took a long break from writing when she became a teacher. Reading wonderful books out loud everyday to young children in schools inspired her one day to give it a try—and she has never looked back!
Her first books drew on experiences right out of the classroom and she still finds her students a great source of ideas! A fascinating story in a magazine about young children immigrating to Upper Canada in the 1800's sparked her series on a pioneer family. Her daughter Meghan, an avid fantasy reader, urged Becky to try her hand at fantasy, and the result is a fun action-packed fantasy for young readers called The Enchanted Theater series. Her more recent books include a ghost story called Never To Be Told and Whiteout, an adventure story of two cousins who survive a winter blizzard.
Becky's books have been nominated for many awards including the Hackmatack, Silver Birch and Red Cedar. She enjoys visiting with children in schools and libraries all over British Columbia. In 2008 she toured Ontario and met with hundreds of children.
Becky loves the initial stages of a story best when everything is new and full of promise. For breaks from writing, she rides her horse on their ranch, gardens, hikes, skis and reads, reads, reads!
