Christopher Rowe (born December 25, 1969[1]) is an American science fiction and fantasy writer, whose stories have been finalists for the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award, the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award, and the World Fantasy Award.[2][3]
Career
[edit | edit source]Rowe's first professionally published short story was "Kin to Crows" (Realms of Fantasy, 1998).[4] His best-known story is "The Voluntary State" (Sci Fiction, 2004),[1] which was nominated for multiple major awards.[3] That story was followed by two sequels: "The Border State" (2017) and These Prisoning Hills (2022).[5]
His 2017 short-story collection Telling the Map received positive reviews from Publishers Weekly ("wild creativity, haunting imagery, and lyricism"), Kirkus Reviews (a "clutch of complex, persuasive visions of an alternate South"),[6] and Tor.com ("a stellar set of stories that mesh well together").[7]
Personal life
[edit | edit source]He lives in Lexington, Kentucky. He was married to fellow author Gwenda Bond, with whom he co-authored The Supernormal Sleuthing Service book series,[8] from 2004 to 2023.[9]
