Rebecca Holmes

I love vibrant worlds, rich cultures and multilayered characters. I write the kind of books I like to read, generally for a mature audience, aiming to explore deeper topics through authentically realized emotions and drawing parallels with the real world.

I'm an avid fantasy reader and PC gamer, fascinated by history, lore and biology. ARK: Survival Evolved, Lord of the Rings Online and Neverwinter Nights are among my favourite games of all time. Gaming has had a huge influence on my writing and how I think about fantasy.

I devour as many fantasy books as I can get my hands on, with the occasional diversion into science fiction or purely historical fiction. Genre-bending, trope-smashing and upside down perspectives are always welcome. I seek novelty and aim to create it in my own work.
