Författarinnan och fanen Julian May har avlidit. ("Julian" är vanligen ett
mansnamn, men det gäller inte här.) Utdrag av vad Wikipedia har att berätta:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_May
"Julian Clare May (born July 10, 1931) is an American science fiction, fantasy,
horror, science and children's writer who also uses several literary
pseudonyms, best known for her Saga of Pliocene Exile (Saga of the Exiles in
the United Kingdom) and Galactic Milieu Series books. ...
She became involved in science fiction fandom in her late teens, publishing
the fanzine Interim Newsletter for a time. She sold her first professional
fiction, a short story called "Dune Roller", in 1950 to John W. Campbell's
Astounding Science Fiction; it appeared in 1951, under the name "J. C. May",
accompanied by her original illustrations. She met her future husband, Ted
Dikty, later that year at a convention in Ohio. May chaired the Tenth World
Science Fiction Convention in Chicago in 1952, and married Dikty in January,
1953. After selling one more short story, "Star of Wonder" (to Thrilling Wonder
Stories in 1953), she dropped out of the science fiction field. ...
Having moved to Oregon in the early 1970s, May began to get reacquainted with
the world of fandom; in 1976, she attended Westercon 29 in Los Angeles, her
first science-fiction convention in many years. She made an elaborate
diamond-encrusted "space suit" for the convention's costume party, which
started her thinking about what sort of character would wear such a suit. She
soon began accumulating a folder of ideas for what would become the Galactic
Milieu Series, and in 1978 she began writing what would become the Saga of
Pliocene Exile. The first book in that series, The Many-Colored Land, was
published in 1981 by Houghton Mifflin. In 1987, she continued the series with
Intervention, finally followed in 1992 (with a change in publisher) by the
Galactic Milieu Series: Jack the Bodiless, Diamond Mask and Magnificat.
In August 2015, she was inducted into the First Fandom Hall of Fame in a
ceremony at the 73rd World Science Fiction Convention."
