Deby Fredericks has been a writer all her life, but thought of it as just a fun hobby until the late Nineties. Since then she has published sixteen novels, novellas and novelettes, either with small presses or independently. Her short fiction has appeared in Andromeda Spaceways, selected anthologies, and small magazines.
Since 2018, her significant work has been the Minstrels of Skaythe series, about a group of pacificst mages who seek hope while their world is ruled by darkness.
In addition, Fredericks writes for children as Lucy D. Ford. Her children's stories and poems have appeared in magazines such as Boys’ Life, Babybug, Ladybug, and Spider. In the past, she served as Regional Advisor for the Inland Northwest Region of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, International (SCBWI).
Deby Fredericks has been involved with science fiction fandom in Eastern Washington since the early Eighties. She worked on the convention committees of Spokon, InCon, WesterCon 49 and SpoCon. In addition to her leadership of Telgar Weyr (Pern fandom), she was involved with Star Trek and Elfquest fan groups, and a few independent comic projects. Fredericks was the Fan Guest of Honor at RadCon 1, and has been a frequent visitor since.
