Aloha!

Linda Nagata
... and welcome to Mythic Island Press. I'm Linda Nagata, a novelist whose work explores both near and far future scenarios of technological change. My work is comprised of six print novels including The Bohr Maker, winner of the Locus Award for best first novel; the e-book Skye Object 3270A; and the novella "Goddesses," the first online publication to receive a Nebula award.

Most of my work was done in the mid to late nineties, when I had the privilege of being a stay-at-home mom. Since 2000 I have been working full-time as a programmer of online database applications, a circumstance that has greatly reduced the quantity of fiction I've produced in the new millennium... but pay no attention to the non-believers! I am still writing!

I am also still lucky enough to live with my husband of 25 years in our long-time home of Maui, Hawaii.

What is Mythic Island Press?

Publishing in general, and science fiction in particular, has been struggling for many years. The world has changed, fewer and fewer people are reading novels (or finding the novels they would like to read), and the youth that should have naturally migrated into science fiction and fantasy have mostly gone into gaming instead. So what is an author to do? Hope for the best, and try to use the Internet to connect with readers. My goal with Mythic Island Press is to keep some of my past work in print, and to offer original fiction that I think is worthy of publication.

Skye Object 3270a...

... is the first title to be published by Mythic Island Press. It's a young-adult novel, set in the same story world used in my print novel Deception Well. It's an e-book, so you can start reading it today. Download it here, or just follow the link to read more about its history and circumstance.

High Surf on Christmas Day

We went early to check out the big waves on Maui's northshore. It was a gorgeous morning with not too much traffic. A great way to start Christmas Day!
