Nancy Kress is the author of twenty-one books: thirteen
novels of science fiction or fantasy, one YA novel, two
thrillers, three story collections, and two books on
writing. Her most recent books are PROBABILITY SPACE (Tor,
2002), the conclusion of a trilogy that began with
PROBABILITY MOON and PROBABILITY SUN, CROSSFIRE (Tor,
2003), and NOTHING HUMAN (Golden Gryphon Press, 2003). The
trilogy concerns quantum physics, a space war, and the
nature of reality. CROSSFIRE, set in a different universe,
explores various ways we might co-exist with aliens even
though we never understand either them or ourselves very
well. NOTHING HUMAN concerns a bleaker future, in which we
have trashed Earth beyond the point of human habitability.
So we genetically engineer our descendants--who may or may
not be considered human.
Kress's short fiction has appeared in all the usual places.
She has won three Nebulas: in 1985 for "Out of All Them
Bright Stars," in 1991 for the novella version of "Beggars
In Spain," which also won a Hugo, and in 1998 for "The
Flowers of Aulit Prison." Her work has been translated into
Swedish, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Polish,
Japanese, Croatian, Lithuanian, Romanian, Greek, Hebrew,
and Russian.
Kress is the monthly "Fiction" columnist for WRITER'S
DIGEST MAGAZINE.
