Linn's List
With a couple of games and three SF novels from Warner
Questar -- WAR CHILD, FERAL CELL and GOBLIN MARKET -- in his past,
Rick is the author of MINIONS OF THE MOON, a dark urban fantasy scheduled
to appear from Tor in the fall of '98. His short work appears frequently
in the pages of Fantasy and Science Fiction, and the last of the
Kevin Grierson stories from which MINIONS was developed is now scheduled
to appear as a spring cover story. He also has published pieces in
Full Spectrum 5, tomorrowsf and the fantasy volume of White Wolf's
Bending the Landscape, and his work has been reprinted in Years's
Best Fantasy and Horror and Best from F&SF.
Commander Tom Cool, USN, is the author of INFECTRESS,
an SF eco-thriller from Baen (1997). He also has an SF novel called
SECRET REALMS on Tor's fall '98 list and has recently completed his second
Baen book, SOLDIER OF LIGHT, which was co-authored with John de Lancie
(who will be familiar to Star Trek fans in his role as "Q").
His story "Universal Emulators" (F&SF, July
1997) will be reprinted in David Hartwell's Year's Best Science Fiction
3.
A veritable firebrand in the cause of fantastic fiction,
Bryan won the 1995 World Fantasy Award for his work as the small-press
publisher of Broken Mirrors Press. As publisher, Bryan does the acquiring
-- often browbeating the excellent into submission(s) -- as well as editing,
design, typesetting and promotion. The press has produced books by
R.A. Lafferty, David Bunch, Michael Kandel and others. Nowadays, however,
the focus is on producing Cholfin's irregular but highly respected little
magazine CRANK! Nominated for the Hugo for best semi-pro magazine,
CRANK! has published stories winning the Tiptree and nominated
for the Hugo and Nebula. An anthology, THE BEST OF CRANK! is scheduled
to come out from Tor in the fall of '98, and the magazine's next issue
is well on its way toward publication.
A.M.
Dellamonica
A graduate of Clarion West, A. M. Dellamonica has published
short work in a variety of publications, including tomorrowsf and
Realms of Fantasy. "Homage," which appeard in CRANK! #7
will be reprinted in the upcoming BEST OF CRANK! She is currently
rewriting a novel called MALAJOI.
Noreen, who will soon receive her Master's in nautical
archaeology from Texas A&M, has published short work in Century
and Realms of Fantasy. THE BOOK OF THOTH, her YA fantasy based
on the intertwining of two tales from the literature of ancient Egypt,
is currently being marketed.
Though Fin, whose gonzo short work has created some stir,
is probably best-known for the story "Ylem," which appeared in Asimov's
and was anthologized in Gardner Dozois' 12th Annual Year's Best
Science Fiction, a quote from "Izzy and the Father of Terror" appeared
unsolicited in a California men's room, and the same story netted hate
mail for Asimov's. While much of his work has run in Asimov's,
he also has had stories in Crank!, Analog, tomorrowsf, Aboriginal
SF, The Whole Earth Review and Chronicles of the Roundtable
(Robinson Books, U.K., Carroll & Graf, U.S.). His popular story
"Santacide" -- excerpted in these pages -- will appear in Tor's BEST OF
CRANK! His self-published short novel PLEASE DON'T HURT ME! (a cult
classic in the making, folks!) has sold out its first edition, and his
BREAKFAST WITH THE ONES YOU LOVE is currently in rewrite.
Harness, one of the grand old men of SF, has produced
a number of novels, including the legendary PARADOX MEN, which has appeared
in several U.S. and U.K. editions and a half dozen foreign countries.
Other prominent titles include RING OF RITORNEL and FIREBIRD, as well as
the very long -- and celebrated -- novella "The Rose," which is now in
print for the first time in decades in Science Fiction Century,
a Tor/Book of the Month Club co-publication (David Hartwell, Ed;
Nov. 1997). Harness' short work continues to appear in such publications
as Analog, F&SF and Asimov's, and he has a new novella
slated to run in the upcoming Synergy (White Wolf). A big
NESFA Press collection of his short work is scheduled for a publication
to coincide with WorldCon '98.
Dave's first novel RAPTURE (Villard, 1996) received a
starred review from Kirkus, a rave as the featured Briefly Noted
book in the Sunday New York Times Book Review and further raves
in such diverse publications as the Los Angeles Times, Punch
and New Age Journal. It has been honored by being nominated
for the 1997 James Tiptree Memorial Award by Mary Doria Russell (who won
the 1996 award for her novel The Sparrow) and was published in both
trade and regular paperback editions in the U.K. by Hodder & Stoughton
-- and reprinted in the latter format. The U.S. trade paperback from
Bantam is an October '96 release (On sale now!) The movie option
went to the Esparza-Katz production company (whose projects include the
theatrical releases Selena, The Milagro Beanfield Wars and
the TV mini-series Gettysburg), and the project has progressed to
the script stage. Meantime, Dave is beavering away on his second
book, which may be called ... (aka DOT DOT DOT).
Though she may be best known to the SF community for her
work as a con organizer, Jennifer made her first sale in 1990 with "Green
Light on 514" (excerpted in these pages), which was the cover story for
the premier -- and only -- issue of The Fourteenth Alternative.
Her second publication was "The Purge," the lead story in Women at War
(Tor, Eds: Bujold, Greenberg), and her third was "Solstice," the lead in
Horns of Elfland (ROC, Eds: Keller, Kushner, Sherman). She
also has the forthcoming lead in Fields of Blood: Vampires of the Heartland
(Eds: Greenberg, Schimel). She has published articles on John Crowley's
work in The New York Review of Science Fiction, wrote Gene Wolfe's
biography for the '98 Disclave program and serves on the jury for the William
L. Crawford Award for New Fantasy Fiction.
David A. Truesdale (Links still
under construction)
A communicator (and one-liner artist) of near legendary
proportions, Dave puts his heart and soul into his role as editor and publisher
of TANGENT, a slick and very thorough quarterly fanzine -- and the only
publication committed to reviewing short-form English-language science
fiction. A revival of a successful original published from 1975-77,
TANGENT got its second start in 1993 and, so far, has won Sci-Fi Weekly's
on-line reader's poll as Best Fanzine of 1996 and the Science Fiction
Chronicle reader's award for Best Fanzine of 1996. Appearing
on the Hugo ballot for the first time in 1997, the publication placed a
close second. The author of numerous reviews and interviews over
the years, Dave was the creator of THE STARLOG SF YEARBOOK, which he co-edited
with David Gerrold in 1979. He is a 1997 World Fantasy Award judge
and also writes a bi-weekly short-fiction review column for the SF Site
(500,000-plus hits monthly).
Jell-O artist and radar angel Leslie What has published
numerous short stores in a wide variety of publications, including Asimov's,
Fantasy & Science Fiction and the anthologies The Fortune Teller
(Daw Books) Bending the Landscape (White Wolf ) and Body Talk
(Hysteria Publications). Her novels FINGER TALK and YE GODS! are currently
in rewrite.
