Hello, and welcome to my website. I'm so glad you came. Please kick off your shoes and make yourself at home. I'll have the dragon heat you up a kettle of tea and the pixies bring you a plate of cookies.
My name is Rebecca Lang. I am a fantasy writer, a California native, an infrequent speaker of Japanese, a seeker of free Shakespeare plays, and a lover of all things magic. I've lived in Japan, gone to Renaissance Faires, and watched Civil War re-enactments. I love to learn and go on adventures every chance I get.
I've been writing for over 15 years. Fun fact: my first full-length novel was a pokemon fanfiction. If you'd like to learn more about who I am, why I write fantasy, and what my process is, please click on the "About Me" button above. I hope you'll get to know me more as you explore my website.
I write all genres of fantasy, from children's to epic. I have three books published, with more on the way. All of my books are available on Amazon as digital (Kindle) or paperback copies.
If you want to learn more, you can either check out the Amazon page or learn more on my website. The website page for each book includes bonus material, such as author interviews, YouTube videos, and sample chapters.

In addition to the "About Me" and "Books" section, my website contains plenty of other content for fans, readers, and writers.
The "News and Reviews" section of my website is an eclectic mix of book announcements, reviews, fan rants, and whatever else captures my fancy. It is the most frequently updated part of my website, so be sure to check out what's new.
I'm proud to announce that I've recently put in a "Teaching Resources" section of my website, containing supplemental, especially for teachers. Please check it out.
Want more? The "Other Writing" section of my website contains Poems, Fanfiction Links (where you can read my old pokemon story), Old Blogs (including my 3 years of living in Japan), and Writing Tips. These are updated infrequently, but they're worth checking out.

Spring 2020
Winter was crazy. I had two moves in two months. In January, I relocated (along with my brother, sister-in-law, and two nephews) from my temporary home in a North Carolina army base. I then found new lodging with my friend in La Habra. I am back in Orange County, CA. I've been spending a lot of time getting my stuff in order and trying to adjust.
My roommate has a dog named Atlas, an 8 month old puppy who likes to jump and nip. I have been working on teaching him boundaries. Hey, I was a high school substitute teacher and watched my two and five year old nephews. This dog has met his match.
Don't let the sweet look fool you. Atlas is a trouble-maker!
All this excitement hasn't completely disrupted my writing. Normally I have lots of projects I work on here and there, but right now all my focus has been going into Company, my novel of a ghost and an imaginary friend. The first chapter is on my website and I am currently on the hunt for Beta Readers who may be interested in reading the first 10 chapters.
One interesting bit of research I did, to prepare for the book, was to take a trip to Big Bear Lake with my dad over Superbowl Sunday. Big Bear Lake is my inspiration for the setting. In addition to taking an unhealthy interest in the look of snow piles, I wandered around and tried to picture the environment from a ghost's point of view. What would actually interest him?
Coming Soon
My next new book I'm working on is called Company, the story of a forgotten ghost and an abandoned imaginary friend who strike an unlikely friendship. (What you see above is not the actual cover, just a quick mock-up I made.) I'm planning to have it available by Fall 2020. (Gulp!)

I've spent this past Nanowrimo working on The Originals, the sequel to The Changelings. Believe it or not, I've been working on this book consistently since before I published The Changelings. Epic fantasy really just takes that long. But I am trying!
I've got other projects on the back burner, too, in various stages of drafts. I'll go into more detail when I get a handle on them, but here's a few hints about what they're about. A girl finds a magical ring that causes her to change appearances and uses it to run a con. A girl tries to find her sister in a deathless land with a man with no memory as a guide. An invisible man, his brother, and the only girl who can see him solve a mystery in a magical version of America. These stories and more are (hopefully) on their way.
