Rebekah Scott is an American expatriate writer and blogger who lives in a tiny pueblo in rural Castilla y Leon, Spain.

She was born into a working-class family of coal miners and steel workers, but her father joined the US Air Force. Rebekah and her sisters were raised on military installations all over the world, by parents who kept them well-apprised of the local economy, politics, history, and culture. This nomadic upbringing, combined with a strong but tolerant Christian faith, continues to flavor Rebekah´s writing, outlook, and lifestyle.

Rebekah studied history and historiography at university, and started a career in journalism at a small-town newspaper in Western Pennsylvania. In the next 25 years she moved up the journalism ladder, raised two children, attended a seminary, specialized in travel and religion writing, and spent thee years as an international freelance journalist and a ghost-writer and editor of dubious natural-health books. She discovered Spain and the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage trail in 1993, and never looked back.

She married UK tabloid journalist Patrick O´Gara in 2003. They sold-up and moved in 2006 to a former sheep-pen in a tiny pueblo along the Camino, where they now look after many animals and the occasional pilgrim. Rebekah has kept "Big Fun in a Tiny Pueblo," an award-winning "life overseas" blog, since 2007. "The Moorish Whore," her first novel, was published in 2012.
