About Becky
Welcome
I am Becky Fleetwood, the third of six children and grew up as part of the ‘baby boomer’ generation in the late 1950s and 60s in Birmingham, UK.
I met my engineering hubby, Julian, when studying Sociology at the University of Bath, a mix that was always going to make for an interesting life! We have lived in Stockport (North-West, UK) for over forty years, bringing up our four children and now have seven granddaughters to add to the collection (I'm thinking - lioness team?).
I have worked as a waitress, barmaid, dinner lady, secretary, exams officer and school timetabler. I also volunteered most of my life - Akela to a cub pack / running a lively toddler group. I still run a local foodbank and sing and dance whenever I can. Life has always been at breakneck speed and it has only been in my later years I have found the time to stop and write.
My love of writing started when I was only eight, the consequence of winning a lot of chocolate in a Cadburys competition “the life story of a Cocoa Bean”.
Bitten by fantasy stories as a student (I stopped going to lectures in order to finish the “Dragonflight” series by Anne McCaffrey) I wanted to write a book in a similar genre with a strong heroine, someone who was intelligent and analytical and did not see the world in black and white. Chroma was born from this.
Now I have written a commercial UpLit fiction "Dancing Fools and All That Jazz" which was published on 28th July 2025. Order from any good book shop. Also available in digital format.
Published Books: The Chroma Trilogy: Imogen's Secret / Imogen's Journey / Imogen's Destiny all on Amazon and available as a kindle boxset as The Chroma Series. If you do read any of my books, please consider leaving a review (long or short) on Amazon and/or Goodreads - they make all the difference to authors and bring the books forward on those virtual shelves. Thank you.
