Author Biography and Bibliography

Pat Cadigan and Christopher Fowler are married and live in London. "Freeing the Angels" is their first collaborative science fiction story.

Pat Cadigan's first professional short story sale was in 1980, and since then her short fiction has appeared in many magazines and anthologies, and online, including Omni, Asimov's, Event Horizon, Interzone, and F&SF. Many of these are collected in Patterns and Dirty Work. Her novels include Mindplayers (1987), Synners (1991), Fools (1992), and Tea from an Empty Cup (1998). Synners and Fools both won the Arthur C.

Pat has also written two nonfiction film books, The Making of Lost in Space and Resurrecting the Mummy; one media tie-in novel, Lost in Space: Promised Land; and a young adult novel, Avatar. She has taught writing workshops, spoken at many conferences—most recently in Venice, Italy and Camden, Maine—and was for a time a Visiting Fellow at the Cybernetic Culture Research Centre at Warwick University.
