REBEKAH PHILLIPS has always loved fairy tales, and her favorite has always been East O’ the Sun, West O’ the Moon, ever since she discovered it in one of her mother’s storybooks. Inspired by the notion of a woman saving her true love rather than the other way around, she spent most of her childhood fighting for (some real, and some imaginary) knights in distress. Grown up now, Rebekah works as an editor and is a teaching assistant at an Ohio University, where she specializes in reminding her students that periods are a non-optional part of sentences.
