He spent his teenage years on the starship Enterprise as a series regular on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Since leaving TNG, Wil has explored a number of different career options. In 1993, Wil put everything he had in a storage locker at Los Angeles Union Station, and tried life as a hobo, riding the rails across the US. He settled in Florida in early 1995, where he found work at The Waffle House, on route 90. Wheaton had found his calling, it seemed, until a tragic accident known only as "the pigs-in-a-blanket-fiasco" drove him out of the Waffle House, and, ultimately, out of Florida completely. Heartbroken and disillusioned, Wheaton returned to Los Angeles, and reclaimed his place in the spotlight by writing clever biographies for former child actors. Wil is currently a writer and performer with the ACME Comedy Theatre, and was recently called "rather remarkable" by the LA Weekly. Upcoming roles include the romantic lead in the dark comedy "Jane White is Sick and Twisted" and a guest starring lead on PAX TV's "Twice In A Lifetime". Wil currently lives in That Spooky Old House On The Edge of Town. He knows exactly what it is that you're up to, and your parents are going to get a phone call from him. And don't make that face. He can see you, mister, and you're not fooling anyone.]]> http://www.dragonpage.com/2005/01/21/wil-wheaton/feed/ 0 http://www.dragonpage.com/2005/01/09/david-b-coe/ http://www.dragonpage.com/2005/01/09/david-b-coe/#comments Sun, 09 Jan 2005 10:17:23 +0000 Terra http://www.dragonpage.com/2005/01/09/david-b-coe/ More information on the official David B.

The Chronicles continue to feature on best-seller lists. Published fantasy works include the Dragonlance series, which has sold over twenty million copies world-wide; the Darksword trilogy; the Death Gate Cycle; Rose of the Prophet; the Soverign Stone trilogy. Science fiction works include her own series, Star of the Guardian, and the Mag Force 7 series. Weis is owner of Sovereign Press, the publisher of the Sovereign Stone RPG and the new Dragonlance D20 RPG products licensed from Wizards of the Coast. She is co-author of the Dragonlance Core System rulebook, Wizards of the Coast, 2003, and co-author of the Dragonlance Age of Mortals rulebook published by Sovereign Press, 2003. Weis's first book in the new series for Tor books, Mistress of Dragons, was released in May 2003 to critical acclaim. She is currently working on the second book in that series, The Dragon's Son. Weis continues her work in Dragonlance wth a new series of novels for Wizards of the Coast titled Dark Disciple. Movie deals are being pursued on several of her works. Weis lives in a converted barn in Wisconsin with four dogs: Sasha, a black lab; Kelly, a collie, and Tess and Max, border collies, and three cats, Nicolai Mouseslayer, Motley Tatters, and Shiva, Destroyer of Nations.

He went to college and received his undergraduate degree from Hamilton College, where he majored in English Literature, and his graduate degree from the School of Law at Washington & Lee University. A writer since high school, he wrote many stories within the genres of science fiction, westerns, and non-fiction, until one semester early in his college years he was given The Lord of the Rings to read. That moment changed Terry's writing career forever, because within the pages of Tolkien's great work he found all the elements combined in one genre that would allow him to release onto paper his own ideas about life, love, and the wonder that fills this world. With that new found knowledge he wrote and published The Sword of Shannara in 1977, the grand result from years of trying to retain some form of sanity while studying law at Washington & Lee University. It became the first work of fiction ever to appear on the New York Times trade paperback bestseller list, where it remained for over five months. On the spare time he could afford from his law practice Terry wrote The Elfstones of Shannara, which followed in 1982 and once again brought us an epic novel of wonder and adventure in the eagerly awaited sequel to The Sword of Shannara. The Wishsong of Shannara, published in 1985, finished the remarkable trilogy. After publishing his first three Shannara novels, Terry knew that writing was not only his life's ambition but that he could make a living with it as well. Even though he was hesitant, he quit his practice of law to pursue a full-time writing career. He moved to Seattle and began writing Magic Kingdom for Sale--Sold!, which began a bestselling new series for him in 1986. After two more Landover novels, The Black Unicorn and Wizard At Large, Terry wrote The Heritage of Shannara, a four-book series returning to the very heart that made him such a success. The publication of The Talismans of Shannara in 1993 concluded that storyline. One of the idiosyncrasies about Terry is he can't write in one series for long; he needs, as a creative writer, to take time off from a project which inevitably allows him to explore new mythos and ideas that he is constantly thinking about. In essence, he recharges himself this way so when he comes back to a series it is meaningful storytelling. Rather than start a new Shannara novel after he finished The Heritage of Shannara series, he began writing two more Landover books (The Tangle Box & Witches' Brew). Once done with the Landover books, and another foray into the Shannara series with the release of First King of Shannara, Terry decided to create something new. Since the beginning of The Heritage of Shannara series in 1990, Terry had been thinking of a new series; a dark, contemporary fantasy set in a town similar to the Illinois hometown he grew up in. The ideas for this new series grew, expanded, and grew some more over the next several years while he wrote other novels, and in September 1997 Terry released Running With the Demon, his darkest most complex masterwork yet. The story of Nest Freemark and John Ross continued in A Knight of the Word and Angel Fire East in what has been tentatively titled The Word & Void trilogy. In the midst of writing The Word & Void trilogy, George Lucas, the esteemed creator of Star Wars, personally asked Terry if he would write the novelization to Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Being a Star Wars fan Terry agreed easily and soon found himself travelling to Skywalker Ranch to discuss the project with Lucas and a month before the theatrical release of the movie the book was published with great success. It was during this time that Terry decided to have an official website, one that a dedicated fan would devote time towards to ensure that the latest news, touring information, and book summaries could be available to his fans. Terry found his fan. Read that history HERE. At the moment Terry has returned once again to the Shannara series with a new trilogy titled The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara. The first book, titled Ilse Witch, takes place 130 years after the events of The Talismans of Shannara where Walker Boh is still a Druid and is trying to do something to reform the Druid Council. Antrax and Morgawr finished up the series. Not tired of Shannara, Terry will continue to write three more books that take place 20 years after the events in Morgawr, the first of which is titled Jarka Ruus. What's on the horizon after that? Who knows. Rest assured it will be something that only Terry Brooks can bring us. He lives with his wonderful wife Judine in the Pacific Northwest, Hawaii, and on the road meeting his fans. http://asimplerway.com/tdp/Terry_Brooks.m3u]]> http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/10/18/terry-brooks/feed/ 1 http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/09/04/alan-dean-foster/ http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/09/04/alan-dean-foster/#comments Sat, 04 Sep 2004 13:24:53 +0000 Terra http://www.dragonpage.com/?p=392 More information available at the official Alan Dean Foster website.]]> http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/09/04/alan-dean-foster/feed/ 0 http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/07/19/g-p-taylor/ http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/07/19/g-p-taylor/#comments Mon, 19 Jul 2004 08:02:29 +0000 Terra http://www.dragonpage.com/?p=335 http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/07/19/g-p-taylor/feed/ 0 http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/07/05/ed-greenwood/ http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/07/05/ed-greenwood/#comments Mon, 05 Jul 2004 14:15:49 +0000 Terra http://www.dragonpage.com/?p=327 http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/07/05/ed-greenwood/feed/ 2 http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/06/14/andrew-fox/ http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/06/14/andrew-fox/#comments Mon, 14 Jun 2004 20:00:35 +0000 Terra http://www.dragonpage.com/?p=310 taken from Andrew's website. Let's start from the start. Where did you grow up? North Miami Beach, Florida. It's one of the suburbs north of Miami in Miami-Dade County. Actually, I was born in Miami Beach, which has more cultural zing! to it than North Miami Beach (which, to my knowledge, has never been famous for anything, other than being the home of Corkie's Delicatessen, which has since relocated to Pembroke Pines, Florida). The Miami Beach of 1964 (or 1974, or 1984, for that matter) was much different from the Miami Beach of today. Back then, it was a faded, down-at-the-heels resort (see the Frank Sinatra movie A Hole in the Head for a good portrayal). When I was a kid, my family would take me down to South Beach for hamburgers at Lum's and walks on the old fishing pier. I was entranced by the old Art Deco hotels, all painted with coats of cheap, brown paint; the skimpy, eroded beach, which was always empty; the dry swimming pools behind lots of the hotels, drained when the winter season was over (yeah, J. G. Ballard and I have that little fascination in common); and the dozens of elderly Jewish retirees spending their sunset years parked on folding chairs on hotel porches. One of these days I'd like to write the great Miami Beach fantasy novel. What were your early influences? Monster movies. One of my earliest memories is being taken to see Destroy All Monsters at the drive-in movie theater by my parents in 1968; I was three years old. The image that sticks in my head is Baby Godzilla (Minya) staring at the evil aliens through a porthole in their space fortress. That got me hooked. TV was full of monster and fantasy movies back then. Adventure Theater on Saturday afternoons alternated between Buster Crabbe's Tarzan movies and Ray Harryhausen's Sinbad extravaganzas. Then, every Saturday night at 11 P.M. (I took naps so I could stay up late), Creature Features cycled through the Universal monster series, the 1950s giant bug movies (there was no end to the number of times I could happily sit through Tarantula or The Deadly Mantis), and all those spooky atomic holocaust/end-of-the-world flicks (The World, the Flesh, and the Devil; Panic in the Year Zero; I Was a Teenage Caveman). But the movies that really pushed my buttons were the Planet of the Apes films. The first one I saw in the theater was Beneath the Planet of the Apes, which really creeped me out (but in a good way). That scene where the telepathic mutants peel off their masks still holds up as genuinely horrific. I saw all the rest of the series in the theaters, then caught the short-lived TV series. I talked my parents into buying me all the stuff Planet of the Apes tree-fort village and action figures; pajamas; trash can; Super-8 mini-films; and, best of all, the forty dollar Don Post Cornelius mask, which helped me live out my fantasy of transforming into Roddy McDowell. Along with the monster movies came the magazines all about monster movies. I loved Famous Monsters of Filmland, especially the issues that reprinted great old articles about King Kong or any of Ray Harryhausen's films. My mom got me a subscription to The Monster Times, which gratifyingly concentrated on Japanese monster movies, a topic that Famous Monsters didn't pay much attention to. Plus, The Monster Times had poster centerfolds of classic movie posters that I could trace with tracing paper. I pretty much learned to read through comic books. An older cousin used to keep copies of Marvel Tales, which reprinted the Steve Ditko and John Romita Spider-Man stories, in a rack in his bathroom, and I used to look through them whenever I visited. My father started buying me Iron Man comics. My mom knew I liked monsters, so she bought me Werewolf by Night and Tomb of Dracula, and my step-dad had good memories of the Timely Comics from the early 1940s, so he bought me Captain America and Marvel Triple Action (which reprinted early Avengers and Captain America stories). I pretty much stuck to Marvel Comics, although I tried out some DC stuff early on. Denny O'Neil's Detective Comics was too noir and adult for me, and Jack Kirby's Fourth World comics seemed too weird (although I liked The Demon). My favorite DC books were the issues of Justice League of America where the Justice League teamed up with the Justice Society from Earth Two, but these team-ups didn't happen often enough to entice me into becoming a regular DC reader. One DC book sticks out in my mind; I don't have it in my collection anymore, unfortunately. It was an issue of either Superman or Action Comics whose cover featured Superman being transformed into a tree, his feet becoming rooted to the ground and his fingers turning into branches. I must've been six or seven years old when I saw that cover, but I distinctly remember it giving me a little tingle, a thrill I wouldn't get from a comic book again until I was a pre-teen hunting down reprints of Fantastic Four that featured Jack Kirby's gorgeous, busty Medusa. Superman turning into a tree. . . go figure. I also loved naval history, particularly anything to do with battleships or ironclads. In fourth grade, I checked out American Heritage's Ironclads of the Civil War from my elementary school library so many times that the librarian called my mother in and begged her to buy me my own copy, so other kids would have a chance to check out the book. http://asimplerway.com/tdp/Andrew_Fox.m3u]]> http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/06/14/andrew-fox/feed/ 0 http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/06/07/timothy-zahn/ http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/06/07/timothy-zahn/#comments Mon, 07 Jun 2004 19:20:37 +0000 Terra http://www.dragonpage.com/?p=305 http://asimplerway.com/tdp/Tim_Zahn.m3u]]> http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/06/07/timothy-zahn/feed/ 0 http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/06/07/terry-pratchett/ http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/06/07/terry-pratchett/#comments Mon, 07 Jun 2004 09:00:06 +0000 Terra http://www.dragonpage.com/?p=303 More information on the official Terry Pratchett website. *That's Colour of Magic for all you Brits. http://asimplerway.com/tdp/Terry_Prachett.m3u]]> http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/06/07/terry-pratchett/feed/ 0 http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/05/31/gregory-benford/ http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/05/31/gregory-benford/#comments Mon, 31 May 2004 12:44:39 +0000 Terra http://www.dragonpage.com/?p=299 More information on the official Gregory Benford website.]]> http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/05/31/gregory-benford/feed/ 0 http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/05/25/michael-a-stackpole/ http://www.dragonpage.com/2004/05/25/michael-a-stackpole/#comments Tue, 25 May 2004 18:01:36 +0000 Michael R.

I remember little of my time in the dairy state, primarily because I spent the first six months of my life lobbying my parents to return to Vermont, which they did when my father's internship was finished. (My father is a Pediatrician and my mother was a teacher before becoming a politician and active in a variety of programs in the community.) After the return to Vermont my brother Patrick was born and, four years after that, my sister Kerin was born. Patrick is career military, having graduated from West Point. My sister is a lawyer and quite good at what she does. (I find it rather comforting to know that in my family I can get good medical advice, good legal advice, and good military advice, all of which are vital in my trade.) Not having been born in Vermont caused a limited amount of childhood trauma for me, since, according to good old Yankee wisdom, I was not truly a Vermonter. (As is commonly noted, if someone is baking cookies in an oven and a puppy crawls in there and is cooked, that doesn't make it a cookie.) I got over this trauma. In my teen years my rebellion against my parents took the form of listening to Boston Bruins hockey games on a transistor radio when I was supposed to be doing homework. I was, as you can see, a real rakehell. I graduated from Rice Memorial High School in 1975 and went from there to the University of Vermont. I graduated from there in 1979 with a BA in History. Having already sold my first gaming project to Flying Buffalo Inc. in 1977, I headed west to the land of Mexican food, where it seldom snows, and the snow never lasts long enough to be shoveled. I have lived in Arizona ever since, save for a four month stint in Hartford, CT, working as a consultant for Coleco Industries. In 1987 FASA Corporation hired me to write the Warrior trilogy of BattleTech novels and the rest, as we historians are fond of saying, is history. Visit Michael A.

Morgan website Didn't I want to be a writer? Ah yes, that. Well, while I was making a living teaching people to speak English, I was also writing it. On and off, furiously while on, idly and lazily while off. I wrote short stories. I wrote articles. I wrote a screenplay, and spent a year and a half of precious time trying to get it taken seriously by moviemakers. I wrote a novel. I wrote furious letters protesting asshole editorial pieces in magazines like Arena and Loaded. I got absolutely nothing published, and no-one made the movie. In the plus column, I only ever wrote exactly what I wanted to. Then I wrote Altered Carbon. Gollancz published it, Hollywood bought it, I gave up my day job. Eight months. Just like that. I'm still writing.

His more than five hundred published works -- short stories, novels, plays, screenplays, television scripts, and verse -- exemplify the American imagination at its most creative. Once read, his words are never forgotten. His best-known and most beloved books, THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES, THE ILLUSTRATED MAN, FAHRENHEIT 451 and SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES, are masterworks that readers carry with them over a lifetime. His timeless, constant appeal to audiences young and old has proven him to be one of the truly classic authors of the 20th Century. In recognition of his stature in the world of literature and the impact he has had on so many for so many years, Bradbury was awarded the National Book Foundation's 2000 Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters last fall. October 2001 is Ray Bradbury Month, and in this section of RayBradbury.com you can learn all about this great author. You can read his biography, get a complete list of all of his stories and novels, read wonderful articles about Ray, visit other Ray related sites and even read the speech he delivered when he received the National Book Award last year. Most exciting of all, view an exclusive video interview with Ray, taken at his home in Los Angeles earlier this year.
