Since he began writing professionally in 1972, Spider Robinson has won three Hugos, a Nebula, the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer and numerous other awards. Twenty-five of his 33 books are still in print in 10 languages. His short work has appeared in magazines from Omni and Analog to Xhurnal Izobretatel i Rationalizator (Moscow) and in numerous anthologies. He was chosen by the Heinlein Prize Trust to write Variable Star (Tor, 2006), a novel based on a seven-page outline created in 1955 by First Grandmaster Robert A. Heinlein. Spider and his wife, writer Jeanne Robinson, collaborated on the Hugo-, Nebula- and Locus-winning Stardance Trilogy (Baen Books, reissued 2006).
