'Rebekah Tyler is a writer with a strong, colourful and original story to tell. There's a deprecating self-honesty and a lot of personal courage shining through. Time and time again Rebekah does things that make average folks shake their heads.' - Geoff Walker, Editor

Rebekah Tyler taught at local primary schools until the death of her beloved grandmother, which plunged her into a pit of despair. Already struggling with raising her two sons as a single mother, she had reached breaking point. She knew things had to change. So she sold her house, quit her job and took her two sons, aged 2 and 10, on an eight-month adventure around the world, travelling to Canada, England, France, Spain, Italy and Vietnam. She returned 8 months later and began writing her first book, Full Tilt, an inspirational story about the search for happiness and not letting adversity stop you from living your dream.
