Check out the gaming room field as our guests of honor. James P. Hogan is renowned for for both computer and miniature gaming. hard science fiction with an optimistic bend. In his GENTLE Most of all. have fun and remember to come next year GIANTS OF GANYMEDE series he writes of a future that would be too!!! 2 MosCoN XXI Program Book persuaded me to have a try at a series of competitive examinations held every year for scholarships at government research institutions around the country. Anyhow, I made it and joined the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough to take an intensive, broad-based five-year program covering the practical and theoretical sides of electrical, electronic, and mechanical engineering. (Despite what the flap copy of some of my books says, although the curriculum included some basic aerodynamics, I wasn't an aeronautical engineer. Once these things are inside somebody's computer, you can never get them out. I finally specialized in electronics.) The course at Farnborough was thorough and the standards high, and I enjoyed it. However, I didn't complete the full five years, although I did graduate later. I married very young and at twenty found myself the proud father of twins. That was the first marriage of three - and the twins were the first of what became six. "Intelligent" systems can be defined as ones that can learn from experience and modify their behavior accordingly. I suppose that puts me in the intermediate category of learning all right, but not changing anything very much as a consequence. To begin with, I worked as a design engineer for several companies, involved mainly with digital control and instrumentation for scientific and industrial applications - data collection and analysis in industrial and academic labs; control and monitoring in paper, glass, and steel-making, manufacturing, defense-related research. Our sins eventually catch up with us, and eventually I moved into sales. That was in the sixties. On-line, realtime computers were rapidly taking over from hard-wired electronics, and it was probably inevitable that anyone working in those areas would gravitate James P. Hogan into the computer industry. I traveled around as a sales Author Guest of Honor engineer for Honeywell, and in the seventies joined Digital Equipment Corporation's Laboratory Data Processing Group, I was born in London in 1941, my father Irish, my mother which in 1977 shipped me over to Massachusetts to run the German.

She has also worked as a technical writer. She is a member of the Author's Guild. Tara lives in Northwest Oregon where she lives with her husband and various critters. She has long hair, blue yes, a brother and a sister (with whom she shares many allergies) and a deep love of Nature. She loves rock climbing, martial arts and white water and spends a lot of her time camping, fishing, hiking and dragging her camera through the wilderness. She also collects and works with weapons modern to primitive, including swords, three-sectional staves, compound bows, and boomerangs. Spaced between these in her writing room are well-worn instruments, ranging from a violin and dulcimer (built by her father) to guitars and keyboards. Geodes, Thundereggs, and shells fill the crannies in her bookshelves. Any remaining wallspace is covered with watercolors, pencil drawings, carved figures and twisted masks. In the past, she scuba dived and played water polo; now she goes kayaking. In her spare time she is a musician, artist, cook and is actively involved in community activities. She loves to read and has been hooked on astronomy since she was a little kid. Tara packs tremendous amounts of action and knowledge into her works. We are indeed fortunate to have her as a guest at MosCon XXI.

Tara K. Harper Author Guest of Honor

Tara K. Harper's adventure tales show that, at least in literature. she fancies both felines and canines rather than one or the other. Likewise, she blends hi-tech and fantasy in her books: WOLFWALKER, SHADOW LEADER, Welcome to Moscow/ STORM RUNNER, GRAYHEART WOLF'S BANE, CAT Larae New Science SCRATCH FEVER, CATARACT, and LIGHTWING.. Her explorations of telepathy and how it might be conferred Fiction Section to and used by a specially-trained elite sometime, Lots of Other Goodies! somewhere, are intelligently visceral and sensual. Lou Ann has been thoroughly enjoying her ''Tales of the Open Sunday Wolves" series - WOLflVALKER, SHADOW LEADER, STORM RUNNER, GRAYHEART, WOLF'S BANE The Cat series shares some similarities, but some very distinct differences too. LIGHTWING is entirely different from either. Tara's friends say she is opinionated, blunt. far too efficient, unexpectedly patient and kind. About half her friends think she is a thrill seeker.

I have done innumerable fan illustrations & cartoons in program books, newsletters, progress reports, fanzines, almost the entire "Seattle in 1981" W orldCon bid ( do any of you remember THAT!?) and even a couple of serious scientific journals. The latter, by the way, deserving a special note. I never would have landed many of the above had I not volunteered to tackle John G. Cramer's mind-expanding "Better Than Fiction" column in the NWSFS newszine WESTWIND, that became the "Alternate View" column in ANALOG. Thank you, John, for a wonderful ride. I never got to see the individual atom because the equipment was down, but I trod on holy ground. I'll never forget it. Being a judge on the "L.

My personal best was 16.5 pages in a single issue of ANALOG, but a whole lot of interiors in other issues (including, coincidentally, the one and only story by James P. Hogan), one in AMAZING STORIES; two covers for ANALOG, one for 's TOMORROW SPECULATIVE FICTION (which he had me finish the couple of paragraphs I did as a setup for him into a complete short story, then had me do the interior illustration for it when he bought that, too); a wraparound dust jacket for Cyn Mason's WET VISIONS that became a tip-in when she changed publishers; a bunch of 6 MosCoN XXI Program Book site in southwestern Alaska and is also editing a volume on the movement of peoples out of Asia and into the Americas.

At MosCon XXI Dr. Ackerman plans to talk about Pseudo Science and Archaeology. From its inception, archaeology has been both helped and hindered by excessive reliance on Biblical and classical mythologies: sources that had provided clues and inspiration in the Mediterranean culture areas became impediments to interpretations of New World cultures and history. Now, more recent alternative interpretations of the past have somehow gone from · science fiction constructs to foundations of earnest pop cult(ure) beliefs: ETs and our ancestors, the lost civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria, etc. All of this has not made the scientific approach to archeology easier to communicate to the public, but it has resulted in much that can be, at least at a distance, provocatively clever and often amusing. We eagerly look forward to his presentation at MosCon XXI.

I still don't know for sure why we were asked, but my theory is that the good people of MosCon are thanking Dan for his willingness to volunteer (the entire weekend if necessary) year after year, & I'm along for the spousal ride. Another possibility is the costuming. Halloween was a favorite for me because I could get all dressed up in wild & weird clothes & go running all over town. About eight years ago, my friend Rita McDermott told me about an event where you could get dressed up in wild & weird clothes & go running run all over an hotel - & it had this contest she thought I'd get a kick out of.
