About Catherine Asaro:

Propped against the bookcase in Catherine Asaro’s home office is the framed diploma of her Harvard Ph.D. in chemical physics. Nearby, dangling from the doorknob, is the dance bag she uses for ballet class. A former professional dancer, this California native has little time for the barre these days. Instead, she’s fielding speaking offers and meeting deadlines for her novels.

Winner of the Nebula® Award for her novel, The Quantum Rose, and the novella, “The SpacetimePool,” she writes science fiction, sf mysteries, fantasy, and near future thrillers.  Her latest book is The Vanished Seas.

Her short fiction has appeared in many places, including “Walk in Silence,” “A Roll of the Dice,” and “Aurora in Four Voices,” which all won the Analog Readers Poll for best novella and received nominations for the Nebula® and Hugo. Her paper “Complex Speeds and Special Relativity” (American Journal of Physics, April 1996) forms the basis for some of the science in her fiction. Among the places she has done research are the University of Toronto and the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

She served two terms as president of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, and is a member of SIGMA, a think tank that advises the government as to future trends affecting national security. As a vocalist, she performs at clubs and conventions.
