Cherryh (pronounced "Cherry") appended a silent "h" to her real name because her first editor (Donald A. Wollheim) felt that "Cherry" sounded too much like a romance writer.

Biography

Cherryh was born in 1942 in St. Louis, Missouri and raised primarily in Lawton, Oklahoma. Year 1942 ( MCMXLII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (the link will display the full 1942 calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Lawton is a city in and the County seat of Comanche County, Oklahoma, United States. She began writing stories at the age of ten when she became frustrated with the cancellation of her favorite TV show, Flash Gordon. Flash Gordon is the hero of a Science fiction adventure Comic strip originally drawn by Alex Raymond, which was first published on January 7,

In 1964 she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Latin from the University of Oklahoma (Phi Beta Kappa), with academic specializations in archaeology, mythology and the history of engineering.

A Master of Arts ( Latin: Magister Artium) is a Postgraduate academic Master's degree awarded by universities in a large "Classical literature" redirects here For literature in Classical languages outside the Graeco-Roman sphere see Ancient literature.

After graduation Ms. Cherry taught at John Marshall High School in the Oklahoma City public school system. Oklahoma City is the capital and largest city of the US state of Oklahoma. While at John Marshall she taught Latin, Ancient Greek, the classics, and ancient history. While her job was teaching Latin, her passion was the history, religion, and culture of Rome and Ancient Greece. During the summer she would conduct student tours of the ancient ruins in England, France, Spain, and Italy. While in her spare time, she would write using the mythology of Rome and Greece as plots for her stories of the future.

Cherryh did not follow the professional path typical of science fiction writers at the time, which was to first publish short stories in science fiction and fantasy magazines and then progress to novels. The short story is a literary genre of Fictional Prose Narrative that tends to be more concise and to the point than longer works of fiction such Magazines, periodicals or serials are Publications generally published on a regular schedule containing a variety of articles, generally In fact, Cherryh did not consider writing short stories until after she had several novels published.

Instead, Cherryh wrote novels in her spare time away from teaching and submitted these manuscripts directly for publication. Initially, she met with little success. In fact, she was forced to re-write some of her early works when various publishers lost the manuscripts she submitted. Retyping from carbon copies of her manuscripts was cheaper than paying for photocopying, and, in effect, forced her to rewrite those lost manuscripts (using carbon paper to make at least one copy of a manuscript was standard practice until the advent of the personal computer). A photocopier (or copier is a machine that makes Paper copies of documents and other visual images quickly and cheaply A personal computer ( PC) is any Computer whose original sales price size and capabilities make it useful for individuals and which is intended to be operated

Year 1977 ( MCMLXXVII) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays

Although not all of Cherryh's works have been published by DAW Books, during this early period she developed a strong relationship with the Wollheim family and their publishing company, frequently traveling to New York City and staying with the Wollheims in their Queens family home. The City of New York Other companies that have published her novels include Baen Books, HarperCollins, Warner Books, and Random House (under its Del Rey Books imprint).

Writing style

Cherryh uses a writing technique she has variously labeled "very tight limited third person", "intense third person", and "intense internal" voice. Grammatical person, in Linguistics, is deictic reference to a participant in an event such as the speaker the Addressee, or others [3] In this approach, the only things the writer narrates are those that the viewpoint character specifically notices or thinks about. [3] If a starship captain arrives at a space station, for example, the narration may not mention important features of the station with which the captain is already familiar, even though these things might be of interest to the reader, because the captain does not notice them or think about them due to their familiarity. This technique can offer a similar experience to that of reading the viewpoint character's mind — sometimes at great length — and thus it can resemble stream of consciousness narrative.

Genre

Because of Cherryh's varied and prolific output, it is impossible to classify her writing as part of any single subgenre of science fiction and fantasy. She considers the two to be part of a unified whole, and opposes attempts to segregate writers and fans by increasingly specific subgenre definitions. Regarding this issue, she has written, "[I] don't like this specialization in which one side sniffs at the other as if they were some other species. No, no, no. We started out one creature. I don't care if 'they' have spots. We're still the same breed of cat. "[4]

Nevertheless, she is often cited as an exemplar of various science fiction and fantasy subgenres, including the following:

Cherryh's fantasy corpus is particularly difficult to categorize. Space opera is a subgenre of Speculative fiction or Science fiction that emphasizes romantic, often Melodramatic adventure set mainly or entirely The Foreigner universe is a Fictional universe developed by Science fiction and Fantasy author C Hard science fiction is a category of Science fiction characterized by an emphasis on scientific or technical detail or on scientific accuracy or on both Military science fiction is a Subgenre of Science fiction in which the principal characters are members of a military service and an armed conflict is taking The Faded Sun trilogy is a series of Science fiction Novels set in the Alliance-Union universe of C Science fantasy is a mixed Genre of story which contains some Science fiction and some Fantasy elements The Morgaine Stories, also known as The Morgaine Cycle, are a series of Science fantasy novels by Science fiction and Fantasy writer C Bangsian fantasy is the school of fantasy writing that sets the plot wholly or partially in the afterlife Heroes in Hell is a series of Shared world Fantasy books by Janet Morris, C Certain works are unmistakably high fantasy, such as the Ealdwood and Fortress series. High fantasy, or epic fantasy, is a subgenre of Fantasy fiction that is set in invented or parallel worlds. The Fortress Series is a series of Fantasy novels by Science fiction and fantasy author C In addition, Cherryh was extended membership in the Swordsmen and Sorcerers' Guild of America (SAGA) for her contributions to the heroic fantasy subgenre. The Swordsmen and Sorcerers' Guild of America (SAGA is the name of a literary group of American fantasy authors active from the 1960s through the 1980s noted Heroic fantasy is a sub-genre of Fantasy literature which chronicles the tales of heroes and their conquests in imaginary lands Other works, however, feature a skepticism towards, or even a total absence of magic more consistent with the low fantasy subgenre, such as The Paladin.

Historical fantasy is a subgenre of Fantasy, related to Historical fiction.

Her 1996 book, Lois & Clark: A Superman Novel, was a tie-in to the Lois & Clark television series and serves as an example of the superhero fantasy subgenre, incorporating additional elements from romantic fantasy.

World building

Extraterrestrial life is Life originating outside of the Earth. Human nature is the concept that there are a set of logical characteristics including ways of thinking feeling and acting that all 'normal' human beings have in common Her worlds have been praised as complex and realistic because she presents them through implication rather than explication.

Cherryh has described the process she uses to create alien societies for her fiction as being akin to asking a series of questions, and letting the answers to these questions dictate various parameters of the alien culture. Culture (from the Latin cultura stemming from colere, meaning "to cultivate" generally refers to patterns of human activity and the symbolic In her view, "culture is how biology responds to its environment and makes its living conditions better. Foundations of modern biology There are five unifying principles See also Nature The natural environment, commonly referred to simply as the environment, is a terminology that is comprised of all living and "

Some of the issues she considers critical to consider in detailing an intelligent alien race include: [6]

Several themes recur throughout the works of American Science fiction and Fantasy author C Cherryh's protagonists often attempt to uphold existing social institutions and norms in the service of the greater good while the antagonists often attempt to exploit, subvert or radically alter the predominant social order for selfish gain.
