Rebecca Rule
Fiction Writer

AIE;CAP;TA;PT

Rebecca Rule is a New Hampshire native, a writer and humorist. She is best known for her live presentation of humorous stories based upon N.H. characters she has known and heard about over the years. Rebecca has entertained audiences from Stratford to Keene, prompting New Hampshire Magazine to name her "Thalia: the Muse of Comedy" in its list of notable N.H. muses. Rebecca’s passion for the spoken word takes her to schools where she helps young writers find their voices. For more than 10 years she has served on the steering committee for the NH Young Writers Conference. For the “Telling Our Stories” project she collected stories of the mills, logging, and the Androscoggin Valley, and turned them into a play, now a one-woman show called "Crosscut." Her CDs are "Perley Gets a Dumpsticker" and "Better Than a Poke in the Eye." Her books include the short story collection “The Best Revenge,” a collection of short and long humorous stories; “Could Have Been Worse”; and “Live Free and Eat Pie: A Storyteller's Guide to New Hampshire.” She's currently at work on three books, a New Hampshire Dictionary, a book on New Hampshire town meetings, and a collection of North Country folk lore. She also hosts the New Hampshire Authors series, which airs on NHPTV.
