Authors

Speculative Fiction

• Vernor Vinge -- Coiner of the Singularity; good at exploring extreme consequences of ideas. Like early Niven, in a way, but in different directions.
• Steven Brust -- Fantasy, mostly; great at spinning out different styles.
• P.C. Hodgell -- Very rare, pretty good books, great setting.
  Also, I've published three novels: God Stalk, Dark of the Moon, and Seeker's Mask. All are part of an on-going fantasy saga concerned not only with high adventure but also with questions of personal identity, religion, politics, honor, and arboreal drift. (From her class web page.)
• Dream-Weaver's Lament
• Robin McKinley.
• Damar Commentary page.
• Iain M. Banks
• Larry Niven
• H.P. Lovecraft
• C.J. Cherryh.

  Other

• Jane Austen -- a most impressive Web site. Commerical publishing has a great barrier to overcome in this medium.
