Rebecca began writing short stories for publication in 1999. Her work has appeared in journals and magazines in the UK, Canada, and USA. A collection of 14 of her stories is due for publication this year in the USA.
She gave up working in community development a year ago to concentrate on writing, and is in the process of completing a novel. She taught a six-week short story writing course in London as part of the Westwords Festival two years ago and found it invigorating and great fun. She contributes to Writewords as a host for two of the groups.
Most of her stories are about misfits bewildered by life’s expectations and trapped in their own limitations. Some of the stories could be described as psychological horror and others as magic realism, but together they do not fall clearly into any established genre. They belong in the space between normality and the unknown territory that lies below. What interests her most is the inventive ways we deal with what life throws at us, and the ability many of us have to slip between our invented worlds and the shared world, as if travelling back and forth down a long worn path.
