Michael Capobianco

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Victor Capobianco (born November 12, 1950) is an American science fiction writer.

He is known for writing novels in collaboration with William Barton. Many of their novels deal with themes such as the Cold War, space travel, and space opera. Capobianco seems to be primarily interested in depressed, solipsistic individuals in forbidding yet adventurous settings.

He served as President of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) from 1996-1998 and received the Service to SFWA Award in 2004. He is currently (2007-2008) again serving as SFWA President.
