My heart was in that one. Well, it's in everything I write, and that's why there's not that much out there -- a person only has so much heart, and there are so many fiercely legitimate calls upon it.

Happy birthday to the groundbreaking, award-winning Suzy McKee Charnas
Hugo, Nebula, and Tiptree award–winning author Suzy McKee Charnas is best known for her groundbreaking HOLDFAST CHRONICLES, a four-volume story written over the course of almost thirty years (1974-1999) which addressed the oft-controversial topics of feminist dystopia, separatist societies, war, and reintegration, and her critically acclaimed exploration of the vampire mythos, THE VAMPIRE TAPESTRY.
The first and second volumes of the HOLDFAST CHRONICLES, WALK TO THE END OF THE WORLD (1974) and MOTHERLINES (1978), each won a 1996 Retrospective James Tiptree, Jr. Award. The final volume THE CONQUEROR'S CHILD (1999) won the James Tiptree, Jr. Award. The series as a whole which also included THE FURIES (1994) was given the 2003 Gaylactic Spectrum Hall of Fame Award. Her young adult novel THE KINGDOM OF KEVIN MALONE earned the Aslan Award for Best Children's Book of 1993. The novella “The Unicorn Tapestry,” that was part of THE VAMPIRE TAPESTRY, won a 1980 Nebula.
Other works include THE SORCERY HALL trilogy – THE BRONZE KING (1985), THE SILVER GLOVE (1988) and THE GOLDEN THREAD (1989) – and the short story collections MOONSTONE AND TIGER-EYE (1992), MUSIC OF THE NIGHT (2001), and STAGESTRUCK VAMPIRES AND OTHER PHANTASMS (2004). Charnas adapted THE VAMPIRE TAPESTRY into the two-act play VAMPIRE DREAMS. It enjoyed runs in both San Francisco and New York, debuting as part of Springfest in San Francisco in 1990.
All of us at Tachyon wish the sensational Suzy a happy birthday!

Now he knew with bitter clarity why in each long sleep he forgot the life preceding that sleep. He forgot because he could not survive the details of an enormous past heavy with those he cared for. No wonder art, or dreams, or history brought too vividly to life in human speech, were dangerous. They could tap the resovoirs of feeling buried in him under intervening sleeps. He was not fit to endure grief, let alone grief piled upon greif through centuries of loss. Short-lived human beings could themselves only tolerate so much pain--look at Irv. The remedy lay in where he had passed over it only a moment before in his thoughts. Afflicted by attachment, he had recourse to a way out that had not been open to Irv. At some risk and cost, he had no way to measure, he could chose the oblivion of long sleep. I am not the monster who falls in love and is destroyed by his human feelings. I am the monster who stays true.
