Rebecca Ahola was raised in Tasmania and has lived in Cairns, Far North Queensland, for the last 28 years. She is a guidance officer and English teacher and has loved writing and storytelling since she was a child.
As both a teacher and counsellor, Rebecca has seen the power stories have to help young people make sense of the world. She is passionate about creating characters that children both love and to whom they can relate.
As a child, Rebecca loved computer games, Dungeons and Dragons and fantasy novels, and while she enjoys spending time in the beautiful tropical environment, she still secretly loves gaming and refuses to think she’s too old for it!
Rebecca's books with Rhiza Press include:
Miles Thorne and the Forbidden Magic (coming in August 2026)
