Linda Nagata
... and welcome to my personal website. 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. From 2000 to 2008 I worked full-time as a programmer of online database applications, a circumstance that 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 26 years in our long-time home of Maui, Hawaii.

Astronomy People: What Did I see?

While taking the dog out for her nightly last night I noticed a “star” madly twinkling, fairly low in the west. It seemed almost to be changing colors, flickering between red and a greenish-white. I watched it for a minute or two, thinking it must be a distant aircraft flying directly away from me, but no, it didn’t go away. Intrigued, I got out my 10x25 field binoculars.
