About the Author
Jacqueline Lichtenberg was born in 1942, three months after Pearl Harbor. She
grew up in the fifties with all the potentials of nuclear power and all the sf
novels of the horrors of mutation. With a degree in chemistry from the
University of California at Berkeley, she worked abroad for a while, then got.
married and settled down to raise children and write sf novels.
She won early acclaim for her Star Trek fan fiction, the Kraith Series, with a
nomination for the Best Fan Writer Hugo, and was primary author of the Bantam
paperback, Star Trek Lives! as well as the founder of the Star Trek
Welcommittee.
At the same time she was selling stories in an sf universe of her own,
Sime/Gen. The second novel to be published, Unto Zeor, Forever, won the 1978
Galaxy Award for spirituality in science fiction. In addition to the three
fan-originated amateur magazines dedicated to Sime/Gen, there are now eight
novels in the universe, three co-authored with Jean Lorrah, and one Jean
Lorrah original. Jacqueline plans many more books in this universe.
Her FIRST LIFEWAVE universe was the result of editorial interest in something
other than Sime/Gen, as was the current DUSHAU TRILOGY, and she would like to
work in several other universes, as well as trying her hand at television
writing.
She is the winner of the 1985 Romantic Times Award for Best Science Fiction
Writer and says, "I enjoy blending romance with a touch of the occult and a
strong science motif to ask hard questions about life's most basic
relationships."
Currently, she runs the Science Fiction Writers of America Speakers' Bureau,
and is the one to contact to hire an sf writer to lecture to a group. In her
spare time she gives tarot and writing workshops, attends Star Trek and sf
conventions, and pursues studies in subjects such as vampires, Arthurian
legend, astrology, Star Trek, and Doctor Who. She serves on the Board of
Directors of the North American Time Festivals, Inc., which put on Doctor Who
conventions, but she has had to put aside many fan activities in order to keep
up with her book contracts.
