Kim Stanley Robinson

The 1997 Hugo winner for best novel, Kim Stanley Robinson is one of the "new breed" of Science Fiction authors. He blends hard science with complex and intricate characters to build a rich and complete story about the future history of humankind on Mars. His Red Mars, Green Mars and Blue Mars novels (the last two being Hugo winners) depict in extrodinary detail a potential future on our nearest habitable neighbor.

Interviewing KSR after the Hugo Ceremony. I interviewed Kim immedately after the Hugo award ceremony. The cameraman is a fellow fan who works for CNN and who graciously brought his BetaCAM hardware to record this year's winners. (Our Fox affiliate cameraman, Dirk Hardy, assisted in the interviews and provided the awesome BetaCAM hardware -- our thanks again!)

Holding KSR's Hugo for Blue Mars. How many fen actually hold a virgin Hugo? Stan graciously let me cradle his Hugo for Blue Mars after the video interview. While I stared at it in awe, he pointed out the various kinds of rock that composed the Texas granite used in the award's base.

Kim at the LSC2 booksigning session. I asked Kim to sign my copies of Red and Blue Mars for my daughter, Alanna, who is six years old -- and who may, some day, travel to Mars in part because of these novels.
