Bast and her Creator, Rosemary Edghill Quiz


This is a quiz about author Rosemary Edghill and Bast, the modern witch protagonist of some of her books. I really enjoy the Bast series. The books are a bit different, and the characters well drawn. See what you know about Bast and her author.

Eluki Bes Shahar is this author's real name. She uses it on some books, but the Edghill name seems better known.
4. Why did Rosemary Edghill choose this name under which to write?

Answer: Her editor told her Regencies were written by "dead Englishwomen".

According to Ms Edghill's website, her editor told her Regencies (her first genre) were "all written by dead Englishwomen", so she chose the first name of a dead Englishwoman (Rhett Butler's sister's name) and borrowed the surname from the Battle of Edghill.

Sunshrike is the craft name of Miriam Seabrook, the murder victim in "Speak Daggers to Her". She was never a member of "Changes", but had hooked up with a nasty pseudo-Russian trad lot. Sundance, The Cat and Glitter are all members of "Changes".
7. Who is Julian?

Answer: The manager of the Snake, a hierarchical magician.

Julian manages the Snake, a magical supplies shop Bast sometimes visits and occasionally works at. The actual owner is Tris. Julian is a hierarchical magician, and Bast is rather in lust with him.

8. Who does Bast say is, or was, "a lovely, half-mad Brit"?
