Salvatore, R.A.: WWW Page (sfsu.edu)

"My name is Corey Chandler. I've decided to make this World Wide Web page with as much information about R. A. Salvatore's works as possible. Why, you ask? Is it because I know R.A. Salvatore? Because I'm getting paid to do it? Because aliens have taken my pet rock hostage and this is what I need to do to get it back? Nope, Nope, and Nope. It's because I love R. A. Salvatore's works, and when I looked on the WWW for information on him, I didn't get any." (Corey Chandler (sfsu.edu))

Salvatore, R.A.: alt.fan.authors.r_a_salvatore (sfsu.edu) - The R. A. Salvatore Newsgroup

After a little work, I managed to get a new Usenet group created, alt.fan.authors.r_a_salvatore, all for the discussion of Mr. Salvatore and his works!" (Corey Chandler (sfsu.edu))

Sawyer, Robert J. (sfwriter.com)

"440,000 words / 330 documents / 4,900 hypertext links" (Robert J. Sawyer)

Schettler, John: Wild Zone (dharma6.com)

"Welcome to the doorstep of my on-line showcase for "Wild Zone," the first in a series of three linked science fiction novels... The site contains illustrated fiction from the novels and lavish background and briefing information." [It's got lots of animated graphics (at least four on the opening page), and it doesn't fit on my browser unless I maximize it to 1024 pizels wide. It uses tables, but doesn't rely on them, so the results are passable on a text-only browser... On the other hand, it has a goodish amount of information on the universe his stories are written in. So go figure...] (John Schettler)

Schmitz, James H.: Marlene Wilson's Page (mwilson.on.ca)

"J. H. Schmitz books and links, 'W of K' covers over the years, sf links... The stories of James H. Schmitz were largely published between l949 and 1973, in Science Fiction pulps like Astounding Science Fiction and Galaxy. James H. Schmitz always stormed through an exciting tale, never stopping to see if his readers had caught up. His elaborate and consistant galactic politics, technology, and assortment of aliens and monsters, paved the way for future SciFi writers with well-planned future history. For his time, or anyone else's, though, he was known for his strong characterization of females, and even the elderly, in rock 'em sock 'em action yarns." Also includes Mar's James H. Schmitz Stories Page (mwilson.on.ca) - J. H. Schmitz story chronology and republishing info, magazine covers. (Marlene Wilson)

Cyber-Seuss: The Great Glorious and Gandorious Dr. Seuss (afn.org)

"You are about to enter the world of Dr. Seuss. Keep in mind that Dr. Seuss was a genius, who did not only write his books for children. Under a lot of his books were morals that he was trying to get through to the adult who was reading the book, and at the same time instill them in the child as they grow."

William Shakespeare: The Complete Works (chemicool.com) mirror copy (mit.edu)

"Welcome to the Web's first edition of the Complete Works of William Shakespeare. The original electronic source for this server is the Complete Moby(tm) Shakespeare, which is freely available online. There may be differences between a copy of a play that you happen to be familiar with and the one of this server: Don't worry, this is a very common phenomenon." Contains indexes by Comedy, History, Tragedy, and Poetry; Shakespeare discussion area, search engine, other Shakespeare resources on the Internet, chronological and alphabetical listings of plays, Frequently asked questions, Bartlett's familiar Shakespearean quotations, and more. "Shakespeare's plays are often arranged in three categories: tragedy, comedy, or history. I've included that arrangement here (along with a fourth column for poetry), based on the arrangement of the electronic Moby edition, but it is important to realize that the categories are not Shakespeare's... The arrangement of the plays into the three categories is a practice begun with the First Folio, which was printed in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare's death." (Jeremy Hylton) [Updated Oct 2001]

Smith, Clark Ashton, Bibliography (eclipse.co.uk)

"Clark Ashton Smith was another master from the Weird Tales era. As well as writing short stories at a prolific rate he was an artist and sculpture, several of his sculptures had a direct influence on Lovecraft's writings. He died in 1961 leaving several manuscripts and story ideas which were expanded by Lin Carter. Most of his tales were powerful fables based in the continents of Zothique, Averoigne, and Hyperborea." (Ian Davey)

Smith, Clark Ashton: The Eldritch Dark (eldritchdark.com)

"Clark Ashton Smith (1893-1961) is best known today for his association with H.P Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos. However, his work that relates to the mythos is a small proportion of his output. Clark Ashton Smith thought of him self primarily as a poet and wrote over 500 poems and prose poems... His vivid imagination along with ironic sense of humour set him apart from his contemporaries in the pulps. Smith was also a self-taught artist whose paintings, drawings and sculptures reflect the fantastic worlds of his fiction." (Boyd Pearson)

My father, a university professor, was very successful in getting guest professorships and grant fellowships at other universities.

Summers, S.C.: Signposts Timeline (tripod.com)

"Educated speculation, not fact or prophecy. This time line represents just one possible future to come-- it is not a set-in-stone declaration of what will happen-- but rather what very well could happen, based on studies of humanity's past history, current trends, and what is theoretically possible according to the latest scientific knowledge of which I am aware. I completed the first draft of the Signposts in 1991-1992, and have subsequently updated and expanded it as appropriate, up through 1997. These revisions and expansions are ongoing... I'm currently writing [a novel] about the future described here..." (S.C. Summers, J.R. Mooneyham) [Updated Oct 2001]
