Connie Willis




Connie Willis lives in Greeley, Colorado,
with her family. She first attracted
attention as a writer in the late ‘70s with a
number of outstanding stories for the
now-defunct magazine Galileo, and went
on to establish herself as one of the most
popular and critically acclaimed writers of
the 1980s. In 1982, she won two Nebula
Awards, one for her superb novelette “Fire
Watch,” and one for her poignant short
story “A Letter from the Clearys”; a few
months later, “Fire Watch” went on to win
her a Hugo Award as well. In 1989, her
powerful novella “The Last of the
Winnebagoes” won both the Nebula and
the Hugo, and she won another Nebula last
year for her novelette “At the Rialto.” Her
books include the novel Water Witch,
 written in collaboration with Cynthia
Felice, Fire Watch, a collection of her short
fiction, and the outstanding Lincoln’s
Dreams, her first solo novel. Her most
recent book is another novel in
collaboration with Cynthia Felice, Light
Raid. Upcoming is a major new solo novel,
Doomsday Book. Her story “The Sidon in
the Mirror” was in our First Annual
Collection; her “Blued Moon” was in our
Second Annual Collection; her “Chance”
was in our Fourth Annual Collection; her
“The Last of the Winnebagoes” was in our
Sixth Annual Collection; and “At the
Rialto” was in our Seventh Annual
Collection.
Willis’s is a unique and powerful voice,
comfortable with either comedy or
tragedy—here, in a story that tastes of
both, she takes us to a remote and exotic
corner of the world—modern-day
Denver—for a tantalizing glimpse of an
elusive and fascinating vision.
