Get to know Rebecca...
Birthdate? October 1973
When did you start writing? From age 12, submitting to magazines from 2001 onwards; 1st novel completed 2006; 2nd novel 75% finished
When and what and where did you first get published? Various short stories and articles in school magazines 1984-91; short story in Scribble magazine, 1999. First magazine articles - Coin News & Country Quest 2003
Why do you write? It is an obsession.
Why do you write Science Fiction or Fantasy? Fantasy - I was a member of the Iron Age Celtic Society, a re-enactment society focused on British life during the 1st C BC. The majority of my fantasy is based on Irish & Welsh mythology, using first hand weapons experience to bring authenticity to battle scenes! I have a scientific background and like writing sci-fiction that doesn't take itself too seriously. I am intrigued by crypto-zoology, especially sightings explained by geological or biological explanations. The Menai Bridge sea serpent article stems from this interest.
Who is your favorite author? Favorite story? Ray Bradbury; Stephen King Sometimes they come back, Chattery Teeth, You know They've Got a Hell of a Band, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption and most of his other short stories. It was the only novel I have ever read that gave me nightmares afterwards. I also liked The Dark Half; M. R. James Casting the Runes & Oh, Whistle, andI'll Come to You, My Lad; I like Roald Dahl short stories, especially William & Mary and Lamb to the Slaughter.
What are you trying to say with your fiction? I like dark pieces with a little humour; bad things happen to people every day but that doesn't mean they have to like it.
