  <about><![CDATA[Jeanne Cavelos is a writer, editor, scientist, and teacher.  She began her professional life as an astrophysicist and mathematician, working in the Astronaut Training Division at NASA's Johnson Space Center. 

Her love of science fiction led her to earn her MFA in creative writing.  She moved into a career in publishing, becoming a senior editor at Bantam Doubleday Dell, where she created and launched the Abyss imprint of psychological horror, for which she won the World Fantasy Award, and the Cutting Edge imprint of literary fiction.  She also ran the science fiction/fantasy publishing program.  In addition, she edited a wide range of fiction and nonfiction.  

In 1994, she left New York to pursue her own writing career.  She is currently writing a near-future science thriller about genetic manipulation, titled &lt;i&gt;Fatal Spiral&lt;/i&gt;.  Her last novel to hit the stores was &lt;i&gt;[book: Invoking Darkness]&lt;/i&gt;, the third volume in the best-selling trilogy &lt;i&gt;[book: The Passing of the Techno-Mages]&lt;/i&gt;, set in the &lt;i&gt;Babylon 5&lt;/i&gt; universe (Del Rey). The Sci-Fi Channel called the trilogy &quot;A revelation for &lt;i&gt;Babylon 5&lt;/i&gt; fans. . . . Not 'television episodic' in look and feel. They are truly novels in their own right.&quot;  Her nonfiction book &lt;i&gt;[book: The Science of Star Wars]&lt;/i&gt; (St. Martin's) was chosen by the New York Public Library for its recommended reading list, and CNN said, &quot;Cavelos manages to make some of the most mind-boggling notions of contemporary science understandable, interesting and even entertaining.&quot; The highly praised &lt;i&gt;[book: The Science of The X-Files]&lt;/i&gt;, (Berkley) was nominated for the Bram Stoker Award.  &lt;i&gt;Publishers Weekly&lt;/i&gt; called it &quot;Crisp, conversational, and intelligent.&quot; 

Her first published book, the &lt;i&gt;Babylon 5&lt;/i&gt; novel &lt;i&gt;[book: The Shadow Within]&lt;/i&gt; (Dell), went out of print a few years ago and was reissued by Del Rey due to popular demand. &lt;i&gt;Dreamwatch&lt;/i&gt; magazine called it &quot;one of the best TV tie-in novels ever written.&quot; 

Recent works include the novella &quot;Negative Space&quot; (which was given honorable mention in &lt;i&gt;The Year's Best Science Fiction&lt;/i&gt;), in the anthology &lt;i&gt;[book: Decalog 5: Wonders]&lt;/i&gt; (Virgin Publishing), and several essays: &quot;Living with Terror: Jack Bauer as a Coping Mechanism in Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disordered America&quot; in &lt;i&gt;[book: Jack Bauer for President]&lt;/i&gt;, &quot;Stop Her, She's Got a Gun!&quot; in &lt;i&gt;[book: Star Wars on Trial]&lt;/i&gt;, &quot;Down the Wormhole: Cognitive Dislocation, Escalation, Pyrrhic Victory and Farscape&quot; in &lt;i&gt;[book: Farscape Forever]&lt;/i&gt;, and &quot;Innovation in Horror,&quot; which appears in both &lt;i&gt;[book: On Writing Horror:  A Handbook by the Horror Writers Association]&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;[book: The Complete Handbook of Novel Writing]&lt;/i&gt; (Writer's Digest Books). She has published short fiction, essays, and reviews in many magazines. 

&lt;i&gt;[book: The Many Faces of Van Helsing]&lt;/i&gt;, an anthology she edited, was published by Berkley in 2004 and was nominated for the Bram Stoker Award. The editors at Barnes and Noble called it &quot;brilliant. . . . Arguably the strongest collection of supernatural stories to be released in years.&quot; Berkley is releasing a mass market paperback edition in October 2008. 

Jeanne also runs Jeanne Cavelos Editorial Services, a full-service freelance company that provides editing, ghostwriting, consulting, and critiquing services to publishers, book packagers, agents, and authors. Among its clients are major publishers and best-selling and award-winning writers. 

Since she loves working with developing writers, she created and serves as director of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.odysseyworkshop.org&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Odyssey&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, a six-week summer  workshop for writers of fantasy, science fiction, and horror held annually at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, NH.  Odyssey allows developing writers to focus on their craft and receive detailed, in-depth feedback on their work. Guest lecturers include some of the top authors, editors, and agents in the field.]]></about>      <hometown>Summit, NJ</hometown>  <born_at>05/26/1960</born_at>
