Jane Suzanne Fancher (born 1952) is a science fiction and fantasy author and artist.
Work[]
In the early 1980s, she worked for Warp Graphics as an art assistant on Elfquest, providing inking assistance on the black and white comics and coloring on Books 2 and 3 of the original graphic novel reprints. Reprint editions omitted her name from the art credits, and later graphic novel editions used different coloring.[citation needed]
She adapted portions of C. J. Cherryh's Gate of Ivrel, the first novel in Cherryh's Morgaine series. Gate of Ivrel: No. 1 (1985) was a self-published black and white comic that lasted one issue. Fancher expanded the material in color intending a series of graphic novels: Gate of Ivrel: Claiming Rites (1986)[1] and Gate of Ivrel: Fever Dreams (1987).[2] The adaptations were done in collaboration with Cherryh. She did not complete the series, but the experience led to Fancher becoming a prose author herself, as well as frequent professional collaboration and marriage with Cherryh.[citation needed]
Fancher's books include the "Groundties" series, as well as the "Dance of the Rings" trilogy: Ring of Lightning (1995); Ring of Intrigue (1997), and Ring of Destiny (1999).
The "Groundties" trilogy (Groundties, Uplink, Harmonies of the 'Net) was published in e-book form in 2011.[3] There is also a prequel, titled the 'NetWalkers.[3]
Fancher, Cherryh and author Lynn Abbey run an online publishing house, Closed Circle, to market their own work.[4]
Personal life[]
Fancher was born in Renton, Washington[5] on October 24, 1952.
She has virtual degrees in Physics and Anthropology from Washington State University[clarification needed] and training in computer programming, psychology, philosophy, and history.[5]
Fancher currently lives in Spokane, Washington with her 'spousal unit',[6] science fiction writer C. J. Cherryh (Carolyn Janice Cherry), after living with her for years in a domestic partnership.[7] The couple were married on May 17, 2014.[7]
