".I'm real interested in the harder end of science fiction. Linda Nagata is the author of The Bohr Maker (1995), which won the Locus Award for Best First Novel Tech-Heaven (1995) and Deception Well (February 1997). Which seems to me to be unjustly neglected, as it compares well to the works of, for example, Al Reynolds.(excerpted from Locus Magazine, February 1997) By some freakish accident I stumbled across a copy of "Vast" a few years ago, began reading-and was hooked first by the chutzpah of the concept presented in the first few pages (how you keep the crew of a slower-than-light starship working for years on end) and then by the rest of her far-future vision. (I nearly missed her books completely - they have barely been published in the UK. She lives with her husband in their long-time home on the island of Maui. Linda has spent most of her life in Hawaii, where she's been a writer, a mom, a programmer of database-driven websites, and lately a publisher and book designer. Her newest science fiction novel is The Red: First Light, a near-future military thriller published under her own imprint, Mythic Island Press LLC. Though best known for science fiction, she writes fantasy too, exemplified by her "scoundrel lit" series Stories of the Puzzle Lands. Linda Nagata is the author of multiple novels and short stories including The Bohr Maker, winner of the Locus Award for best first novel, and the novella "Goddesses," the first online publication to receive a Nebula award. But variety is good, and so I have a new guest blogger for you: Linda Nagata. While I (Charlie) am on vacation for most of a month, you might have noticed some familiar faces popping up to guest-blog here.
