Mary Turzillo won the 1999 Nebula for her story "Mars Is No Place For Children", and her latest book is Dragon Soup, with Marge Simon. "Pride," her bad kitty story in Fast Forward 1 was on the final Nebula ballot this year. Her poetry collection Your Cat & Other Space Aliens was a nominee for the Pushcart Prize and appeared on the preliminary Stoker ballot. Two of the poems from that book were on this year's Rhysling ballot, and she was a nominee for the Cleveland Arts Prize. Her novel, An Old-Fashioned Martian Girl, was serialized in Analog.

She is working on another novel, Heart's Journey, Mars Quest. She has a fascinating son, Jack Brizzi, and lives in Ohio with her fascinating husband, Geoff Landis. She feels any decent story needs cats, chocolate, vampires, and Mars. For a decent life, delete the vampires.
