Rebecca Zahabi is a mixed-heritage writer (a third British, a third French and a third Iranian). She started writing in her home village in France at age 12 – a massive epic where women were knights and men were witches which set out to revolutionise feminism. Since, she has slightly re-jigged her expectations of what she can achieve with a keyboard and a blank page. The plan of taking over the world, however, has not changed. She still hopes to write novels that can make a difference. Her short stories have appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science-Fiction and PodCastle. Her début adult novel, The Collarbound, made it to the top 10 Sunday Times bestseller list. Aside from writing traditional fiction, she also writes choose-your-own-adventure romances for HeartsChoice. The Lightborn, the final volume of her fantasy trilogy Tales of the Edge, came out in May 2024.
