OTHERS SAY:
-"She can talk the hind legs off a donkey, from under 6 feet of water!" Ethan Burns, Australia.
-"Reading some authors is like being bashed over the head with a morningstar, it aint a subtle experience! With some others it's like having slivers of bamboo pushed slowly under your toe nails - f**king excruciating. Reading Rebecca's is like experiencing a good assassin's knife - its subtle and the first thing you know about its impact is when its tickling something vital inside!", Jason Warr, London.
-"Blonde and in the clouds (dark stormy sinister ones with Orcs n stuff)." Neil Styles, UK.

I write hero fantasy. Its not fully dark but its certainly grimey -I hope. I used to work in the music industry and met the strangest, funniest, most desperate and crazy people, which has given me a lot of inspiration for my characters, plus travelling over this wonderful little planet.
All that plus a strong anti-social streak (some equally nerdy friends) and a desire to escape the mundane, I found the great escape of fantasy. Yup, I became a geek, gaming, a wardrobe of black metal T's and so on (then rock n roll baby yeeeah!). Now I try to offer that escape to others - no dragons or unicorns I'm afraid.
I've been reading fantasy since I was 13 and writing since I was 13.5(yeah it probably took me 6 mnths to read Magician I'm sooo slow!). Well, if you like Gemmell, Brooks & Feist etc, then you'll like this. Promise ;)
Check out the BLOGS. If you want to read more you will have to drop me a line and ask for it.
Currently its being 'drafted' and gets sent to my much appreciated reader and slave driver, Jason (friends=JJ).
I hope to have this draft done by end of Feb and ship it off to a pro editor & do the 2nd one around Easter, then off to the nice lovely wonderful editor ;)
Whats it about? The working title is: Crown's Redoubt.
There is no Good v Evil in this story, and heroes are not what you'd expect either. How could they be... with a drug addict, a murderer and one who had their soul ripped out at birth?
