Rebecca Tingle was born in Utah as the oldest child in a large
family--three boys and five girls. She grew up reading armfuls of
novels from the Orem Public Library, riding horses, acquiring as many
pets as her parents would allow (three dogs, three cats, two budgies, a
hermit crab, and various reptiles and amphibians), hiking the Wasatch
Range of the Rocky Mountains with her brothers, and training in
classical ballet. Upon graduating from high school, she began a short
professional ballet career with Ballet West and also pursued a B.A. in
English at the University of Utah. After earning an M.A. in English
with a medieval specialization at Brigham Young University, she went to
Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar to study Old English literature.
Tingle returned home to Utah having written the first few chapters of a
novel about AEtheflaed of Mercia. She worked for a year as a member of
the Brigham Young University Admissions Committee before marrying Bryce
Tingle, a Canadian lawyer, and moving to Calgary, Alberta. There she
finished her novel, The Edge on the Sword, and began a second book,
which is almost complete. Rebecca and Bryce are the parents of two
daughters, Miranda and Afton.
