Vonda McIntyre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vonda Neel McIntyre (born Louisville, Kentucky, on August 28, 1948) is a U.S. science fiction author.

She is one of the first successful graduates of the Clarion Science fiction writers workshop. She attended the workshop in 1970. By 1973 she had won her first Nebula Award, for the novelette "Of Mist, and Grass and Sand." This later became part of the novel Dreamsnake, which won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards. The novelette and novel both concern a female healer in a desolate primitivized venue.

McIntyre's debut novel was The Exile Waiting which was published in 1975. Her novel Dreamsnake won the Nebula Award and Hugo Award for best novel in 1978 and her novel The Moon and the Sun won the Nebula in 1997. She has also written a number of Star Trek and Star Wars novels, including Enterprise: The First Adventure and The Entropy Effect. She wrote the novelizations of the films Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

It was McIntyre who came up with Hikaru as the first name of the Star Trek character Mr. Sulu, which became canon after author Peter David, when visiting the set of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (he authored the comic book adaptation), convinced director Nicholas Meyer to insert it into the script for that film.
