Stephen Dedman

Stuff for the A in 99 webpage (my page at Eidolon has a little more bio stuff, a couple of book covers, and a lousy photo).

My website http://www.eidolon.com.au/stephen_dedman.htm has been updated, and now includes a better photo and more up-to-date bio. It may be easier for you just to put a link to it rather than try to keep a page up to date. And yes, I am a member (active) of SFFWA; have been for about 5 years.

Stephen Dedman sold his first short story, attended his first sf convention and played his first RPG in 1977. Since then, he has escaped from several institutions of higher learning, where he studied writing, theatre, and film history. Now a full-time writer living in abject poverty in Western Australia, and an associate editor of the Australian Sf magazine Eidolon, he has held too many boring jobs and a few interesting ones (including actor, experimental subject, editorial assistant for Australian Physicist magazine, used dinosaur salesman, and manager of an sf bookshop). A keen traveller, he attends Worldcons whenever he can afford them, and has been a panelist at ConDigeo, MagiCon, Conadian, and Intersection. He has too many opinions, too few books, far too few bookshelves, too little time for reading, a wife, a wife-in-law, custody of two saber-clawed cats, a modest collection of toy dinosaurs, and (despite all rumours to the contrary) only one black cape.
