Philcon 2004 Special Guest:
Kevin J. Anderson, born in 1962, is one of contemporary American SF's most productive writers, the author of numerous original novels as well as collaborations and media novelisations. Of his independent works, the most notable are perhaps Resurrection, Inc. (1988), Climbing Olympus (1994), and Blindfold (1995); together with Doug Beason, he has published such books as Lifeline (1990), The Trinity Paradox (1991), Assemblers of Infinity (1993), Ill Wind (1995), Ignition (1996), Virtual Destruction (1996), Fallout (1997), and Lethal Exposure (1998).
Solo and with his wife, Rebecca Moesta, he has written a large number of Star Wars ties; three X-Files novels carry his name; and he is presently in the midst of a major effort to complete and elaborate on Frank Herbert's Dune sequence in company with Brian Herbert -- House Atreides (1999) and House Harkonnen (2000) commenced the Prelude to Dune trilogy, which finishes in late 2001 with House Corrino.
But amidst all this larger-scale activity, Anderson has found time for quite a few short stories, many of which are collected in the latest volume from Golden Gryphon Press, Dogged Persistence, published in June 2001.
Kevin J. Anderson has written twenty-nine national bestsellers and has been nominated for the Nebula Award, the Bram Stoker Award, and the SFX Reader's Choice Award. His critically acclaimed original novels include Captain Nemo, Hopscotch, and Hidden Empire. He also set the Guiness world record for "Largest Single-Author Book Signing."
