Michael Bishop

You don't have to solicit people's opinion of Michael Bishop when he comes up in conversation. Invariably someone will say, "You know, he's the nicest guy." Period. And he may very well be. Michael was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, just a couple months after World War II came to a close. An air force brat, he stayed on various bases across the U.S. during the summers and spent a year in Japan when he was five and another in Seville, Spain, late in high school. He attended grade school in Mulvane, Texas—where he lived with his mother—and most of high school in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He holds a B.A. and an M.A. in English from the University of Georgia, and taught English for a few years before his writing career took off in the early seventies.

For the past few decades, Michael and his wife, Jeri, have lived in Pine Mountain, Georgia, frequently spending summers in Colorado. They have two children, Jamie and Stephanie. Their daughter recently had a daughter of her own. Michael Bishop is one of the best-known and most respected writers in the F&SF field, and has won the Nebula and Locus Awards numerous times. He's also a nice guy.
