About Author

Rhea Black was crafting tales before her hands could write. She dictated them to her Grandma, filling volumes of notebooks. For the last 20 years, she has taught English as a Second Language, and her passion for words has inspired her throughout. During that time, she has also continued to create works of fiction in all genres. Rhea currently lives in Gatineau, QC, and works in Ottawa. Most learners of English as a Second Language find phrasal verbs difficult because they are so many, so varied, and so boring to learn. For the same reasons, ESL teachers find them a great challenge to teach! Basically, All Cleared Up is the textbook she wishes she had when she first started her career.
