Rebecca Coyte

Rebecca Coyte has been fascinated with mysterious creatures and tales of the paranormal since she was a child. After teaching fifth grade for 11 years, she decided to write her first middle grades novel, The Bigfoot Paradox, which went on to win a 2015 eLit Award for Juvenile/Young Adult Fiction, a Pinnacle Book Achievement Award for Juvenile Fiction, and Readers' Favorite Honorable Mention for Children's Fantasy/Sci-Fi. Her follow-up novel, The Bigfoot Rebellion, won the 2017 Readers' Favorite Bronze Medal for Children's Fantasy/Sci-Fi. She hopes that both young readers and the young at heart will enjoy her tales of otherworldly beings and intriguing urban legends.
