Margaret Wander Bonanno, writer

"Margaret Wander Bonanno is smarter than you are."
- Gerald Jonas: The New York Times

Apparently Mr. Jonas knows something my ninth-grade algebra teacher didn't. I don't necessarily feel smarter than anyone else. And since I persist in plying my craft in a field where writers have been superseded by doctors, lawyers and insurance salesmen, oh my, and accountants make all the really important decisions, maybe my algebra teacher was right after all.

"Margaret Wander Bonanno is the most prolific s/f writer I'd never heard of."
- Peter D. Tillman: Under the Covers

And then I wrote...four mainstream novels (A Certain Slant of Light, Ember Days, Callbacks, Risks), some STAR TREK, a biography of Angela Lansbury, two s/f trilogies entitled THE OTHERS and PRETERNATURAL, several books in a young adult series called THE YOUNG ASTRONAUTS, and had the extraordinary good fortune to work with the incomparable Nichelle Nichols on SATURN'S CHILD.

"Margaret Wander Bonanno is savvy, creative, and deliciously naughty. The lady can write."
- Nichelle Nichols: Star Trek's Uhura

Currently dividing my time between ghost-writing, writing for STAR TREK again (Catalyst of Sorrows, Burning Dreams, and an ebook in the six-book series Mere Anarchy), and the recent launch with my co-founder, Rusty Van Reeves, of VAN WANDER PRESS (see Bookstore for details).

That's all she wrote, for now. This website, like all good things, will continue to grow and change. Please come back and visit often.

Peace and long life,

Margaret
