About
[Mystic Wild Parabola's Biography]
A Pretentious Third-Person Autobiography with Interesting LinksRebecca J. Bohner is a typesetter and freelance writer (albeit more "free" than "lance" at this point) […]. Her completed works to date include two unpublished fantasy novels, There Came a Traveller and Knife (the latter of which was very kindly and encouragingly rejected by Tor Books); numerous articles for Areopagus, a weekly column on Christian apologetics published by Gospel Folio Press; and numerous pieces of fan fiction. Works in progress include The Case of the Winning Woman (a pre-canonical Sherlock Holmes mystery), and a fantasy epic called Sevenstone. Comments and criticisms on these, as well as the finished works, are welcomed. When not working on her own literary projects, Rebecca enjoys reading fantasy, SF, children's literature, mysteries, Biblical commentaries, philosophy, and Judaica. She is a lapsed member of the Hounds of the Internet (a mailing list reserved for discussion of the Sherlock Holmes stories) and somewhat negligent administrator of its daughter list RUSS-L, which is devoted to Laurie R. King's "Mary Russell" books. Rebecca may also be found on numerous other lists and newsgroups of interest, including the mystery lists Allingham and Lord Peter, the creative DOCTOR WHO list Who Ink, and the musical list Spirit of Talk Talk. Among her favorite artists are Vermeer, Friedrich, Waterhouse, Turner, Magritte, Escher, and Lichtenstein. She enjoys listening to Bach, Handel, traditional Irish folk, Renaissance music, Michael Card, Wes King, Steve Camp, Talk Talk, and the soundtracks of Patrick Doyle. She used to be interested in comics generally, but now collects only the Tintin books by Hergé and the Asterix series by Goscinny and Uderzo. […] If you haven't seen much of Rebecca lately, it's probably because if she isn't busy doing one of the above-mentioned things, she's probably reading a book […].
In addition to maintaining her own set of web pages, Rebecca helped design and update the site for her former employer in London, […]. Since she has never quite recovered from bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, she really shouldn't spend so much time on the Internet.[1]
[Website's Biography]
Her writings include a contemporary middle-grade fantasy novel, Knife (forthcoming from HarperCollins Children's, 2010), and two other novels in progress; numerous articles and essays on literature, philosophy and theology; and a not inconsiderable amount of fanfiction. Her creative influences include C.S. Lewis, E. Nesbit and Mary Stewart, as well as more contemporary fantasy authors like Patricia McKillip, Robin McKinley, Patricia C. Wrede and Pamela Dean. She is a member of SCBWI and is proud to be represented by Adams Literary Agency. When not working on her own literary projects, Rebecca enjoys reading fantasy and SF, children's literature, mysteries, Biblical commentaries, philosophy, and Judaica. Occasionally she dabbles in art, where she appreciates the works of Vermeer, Friedrich, Waterhouse, Turner, Magritte, Escher, and Lichtenstein. She sings semi-professionally as part of an inspirational music duo called "Rejoice", and her musical preferences include Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, traditional folk, Renaissance music, David Sylvian, Talk Talk, and the movie soundtracks of Patrick Doyle and Jeff Danna.[5]
[Homepage's Biography]
As a child she immersed herself in fairy tales, mythology, and the works of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and E. Nesbit; later she discovered more contemporary authors like Ursula LeGuin, Patricia A. McKillip and Robin McKinley, and learned to take as much pleasure from their language as the stories they told. […] and tries to bring a similar sense of humor, adventure, and timeless wonder to the novels she writes for children and young adults.[6]
[AO3's Biography]
As a reader I love stories with witty dialogue and wordplay, characters who are practical and level-headed, romances based in mutual respect and understanding rather than mere physical attraction, and interesting, well-reasoned plots -- so those are the kinds of stories I try to write as well.Since I've spent the last five years or so working on original fiction, most of my fanfic is old and therefore AU. It was however, fully canon-compliant at the time I wrote it. That's another thing I'm a stickler for -- my stories may never have happened, but there was always a point at which they could have. Or possibly, if you're feeling that generous, should have. :)
My most famous fics are the novel-length "Darkness and Light" trilogy written in 2000-2001, which were among the very earliest Snape romance stories written for HP fandom. It was fun while it lasted, but I feel no need to resurrect Snape after Book 7, even for Maud's sake. Sorry, HP fans![7]
[Site's Biography]
R. J. (Rebecca Joan) Anderson is a Canadian author of fantasy and science fiction for older children and teens.[…]
As a child she immersed herself in fairy tales, mythology, and the works of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and E. Nesbit; later she found inspiration in books by Ursula LeGuin, Patricia A. McKillip and Robin McKinley, and learned to take as much pleasure from the authors’ lyrical style as the stories they told.
[…] Rebecca reads to her sons the classic works of fantasy and science fiction that enlivened her own childhood, and tries to bring a similar excitement and timeless wonder to the novels she writes for children and teens.[8]
[Recent's Biography]
The daughter of a preacher who read Tolkien and Lewis aloud to his children, Rebecca grew up daydreaming about Narnia and Middle-Earth, watching Doctor Who from behind the sofa, and hanging out in her brothers’ comic book shop. Now she writes novels about knife-wielding faeries, weird science, and the numinous in the modern world.[9]
Blanket Statement
[ao3's bio]
[…] for the record, if anybody wants to write fanfic based on my original novels -- Knife a.k.a. Faery Rebels: Spell Hunter (2009), Rebel a.k.a. Wayfarer (2010), I'd be honored. Can't legally read it, of course, but still honored. And if anybody ever decides to write fic for Jared/Claudia from Catherine Fisher's Incarceron series, I would be ECSTATIC. Just saying.[7]
[ffn's bio]
I am perfectly okay with fic of my Faery Rebels, Ultraviolet or Uncommon Magic series (indeed, I consider it a compliment!) as long as my words are not plagiarized, no profit is being made from the story, and I'm acknowledged as the original creator of those settings and/or characters. Thanks for reading![10]
