Becky Holmes is the creator of and voice behind the popular Twitter account @deathtospinach. Having been on the receiving end of an annoying number of direct messages from online romance scammers, Becky started to enjoy wasting their time and then publicly outing' their accounts. No other woman has had so many online romances from Keanu Reeves to Brad Pitt to Prince William.  She is a firm favorite with brave US peacekeeping soldiers stationed around the world, and oil rig workersall who eventually need iTunes vouchers or Amazon gift cards. Becky's book, Keanu Reeves Is Not In Love With You, looks at all aspects of romance fraud, from the heartbreaking to the hilarious, the academic to the anecdotal.
