Award winning science fiction author Brad Linaweaver has produced novels, short stories, articles, and scripts in his eclectic career. A Nebula finalist, as well as winner of Prometheus awards and the Green Slime award, he has made his primary mark in alternate history; but earned more doing media tie-in novels based on video games and television shows.

Brad has done many collaborations: Worlds of Tomorrow with Forrest J Ackerman, Anarquia with J. Kent Hastings, three Battlestar Galactica novels with Richard Hatch, and four Doom novels with Dafydd ab Hugh, to name some prominent examples. He also works with the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company where he has adapted works by Heinlein and van Vogt, as well as seeing some of his own stories adapted.

He will always be remembered for both versions of Moon of Ice, the novella and novel, as close as he will ever come to doing a sequel to his best known work.

He likes writing short stories best and misses the great Martin H. Greenberg, who published a number of his stories, along with selling to other editors of note. Three story sales that meant a lot to him were "My Wiccan, Wiccan Ways," to Carol Serling's Adventures in the Twilight Zone, "Clutter," to Robert Bloch's Psycho-Paths, and "A Real Babe," to Peter Straub's Peter Straub's Ghosts.

Linaweaver is the only Dragon*Con guest who has written for two incarnations of Famous Monsters of Filmland and also has an endorsement from Ronald Reagan. Brad is the executive producer on several films (Supershark, Megaconda, Crustacean, and House the Devil Built). He is also publisher of his own pop culture magazine, Mondo Cult.

Celebrating his 60th birthday at last year's Dragon*Con, he showed for the first time at any convention, episodes from Silicon Assassin. This is a science fiction web series he is creating that stars Richard Hatch. All the webisodes will be complete in time for this year's Dragon*Con.
