Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox writer Jane Suzanne Fancher (born 1952) is a science fiction and fantasy author and artist.
WorkEdit
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.Template: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 book that lasted one issue. Fancher expanded the material in color intending a series of graphic novels: Gate of Ivrel: Claiming Rites (1986)<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> and Gate of Ivrel: Fever Dreams (1987).<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> 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 eventual marriage with Cherryh.<ref name="HarmoniesOfTheNet">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
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.<ref name="blog entry">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> There is also a prequel, titled the 'NetWalkers.<ref name="blog entry" />
