Joan D. Vinge has had stories published in Analog, Orbit, Isaac Asimov's SF Magazine, and various anthologies, including The Crystal Ship (title novella) and Millennial Women. Two of her novellas have been published as a book entitled Fireship.
Joan has a degree in anthropology, which she feels is very similar to science fiction in many ways because both fields give you an opportunity to view human relationships from a fresh and revealing perspective. She's worked, among other things, as a salvage archeologist, enjoys horseback riding and needlecrafts, and is married to Vernor Vinge, who also writes science fiction.
