REBECCA THOMAS
My name is Rebecca Thomas. I’m the author of two historical romance novellas with Entangled
Publishing and I’m about to launch my Alaskan Hero contemporary romance series. So excited
about this! I’ve lived in Alaska my entire life. My husband bugged me for years to write an
Alaska story. Finally I did, and now I have an entire series planned. The first book in the series
is Her Alaskan Hero and it will release on August 25th. I also have a novella entitled Sweet
Home Alaska, as part of this series that is available now in a boxed set entitled Small Town
Summer.
I recently attended a writer’s conference at a very nice, very large hotel. Hundreds of women
roamed every floor and hallway of this hotel. It was about eight o’clock at night when I tried to
check into my room. However, my room wasn’t ready and my roommate hadn’t arrived yet, so
even though this was annoying, I wasn’t about to let these circumstances bring down my happy
mood. I was at a writer’s conference and I was on vacation.
So I waited in the lobby with a book in hand and almost immediately I was approached by a
man who asked if I was here for the writer’s conference. I said, yes. He introduced himself by
saying, “I’m Anthony, I’m an attorney and I’m from the Bahamas.” And then almost as an
afterthought he asked, “What’s your name?”
I gave him my name, then he immediately asked, “Do you have a roommate?”
So there is nothing so horrible about this conversation except clearly he was trying to impress
me with his profession and/or place of residence. And who knows if he was actually trying to
pick me up, but of course I told him I had a roommate and I expected her to arrive at any
moment. So Anthony went along his way and left me in the lobby.
As I watched him leave, my romance writer’s imagination took over. I envisioned myself saying.
“No, I don’t have a roommate.”
As a side note, in my head he was much more attractive and gorgeous and sexy too. Next thing
I know he invites me for a ride in his private jet where he takes me to his mansion in the
Bahamas. And you know the rest of the story—we lived happily ever after of course.
But back to reality, I mean, really, what did he expect me to say? And if I did say, no, I don’t
have a roommate. What would he have said? I guess I will never know, I can only imagine.
Was there ever a time you wish you’d said something else in a similar situation? So the story
would have ended differently?
Her Alaskan Hero Blurb
After being left at the altar, California girl Sabrina Tate needs to make a fast getaway. With her
famous overbearing parents and the paparazzi hot on her heels, where else is a jilted bride to
go to lick her wounds but Alaska? With only her tropical honeymoon clothes in tow, she makes
her escape. For two weeks, she’ll live on her own and prove to herself—and her family—that
she can make it without a husband.
Zak Forrester is a man on a mission. He’s turned his rugged yet luxurious Alaskan lodge into a
hotspot for hunters, all in the hope to make up for a painful event in his past. But when
Sabrina—one of the rare women to enter his rugged realm—stumbles into his world, he can’t
get rid of her fast enough. He has no time for her yoga, vegetarian meal requests, or Scrabble.
Soon, neither can resist the other, and two hearts collide. With time ticking away, they have to
decide where they belong. Is a life in a different world better than being a world apart?
About Rebecca Thomas
Rebecca Thomas enjoys a love-hate relationship with Alaska. She lives there with her bush pilot

is cheering for her sons at their hockey games and tennis matches.
A reluctant reader as a child, she didn’t become interested in books until her teen years when
she discovered historical romance. Now she loves all sub-genres of romance and can’t decide
which one is her favorite.
Rebecca earned a bachelor’s degree in Education from the University of Alaska and was
employed in the airline industry for several years before working in her current position as a
program manager in a higher education.
