Biography

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.

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 & white comic that lasted one issue. Fancher expanded the material in color intending a series of graphic novels: Gate of Ivrel: Claiming Rites (1986) and Gate of Ivrel: Fever Dreams(1987). The adaptations were done in collaboration with C. J. Cherryh. She did not complete the series, but the experience led to Jane becoming a prose author herself, as well as frequent professional collaboration and marriage with Cherryh.

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. There's also a prequel, entitled the "'NetWalkers".

Fancher, Cherryh and author Lynn Abbey run an online publishing house, Closed Circle, to market their own work.

Personal life

Fancher was born in Renton, Washington on October 24, 1952.

She has virtual degrees in Physics and Anthropology from Washington State University and training in computer programming, psychology, philosophy, and history.

Fancher currently lives in Spokane, Washington with her 'spousal unit', science fiction writer C. J. Cherryh (Carolyn Janice Cherry), after living with her for years in a domestic partnership. The couple were married on May 17, 2014.
