about

Rebekka Hart lives and works on Ngunnawal land in Canberra, Australia, with her artist husband, two young children, a feline furbaby, and three surprisingly long-lived goldfish. She holds a BA (Hons) in Literature, along with a postgraduate teaching degree. She writes mythic, romantic fantasy set in future worlds, and loves complex storylines featuring characters who are neither heroes nor villains. She is obsessed with shifting vagaries of meaning, with the utopian/dystopian impulse, and with representing matriarchal power structures and queerness in her future-fantasy worlds.

In 2019, she was shortlisted for the Anne Edgeworth Writer’s Fellowship through the ACT Writers Centre (now Marion) with her project for her first novel, To Dream of White & Gold. Her work has been featured in Kirkus Reviews Magazine and HerCanberra.

She is currently working on the third Death Dreamer Legacy novel, along with an unrelated side-project featuring a reluctant hedgewitch and magic-eating monsters.
