You ask the questions

llen M. Steele has been contributing to the field of science fiction since 1988, when his story "Live from the Mars Hotel" was published in Asimov's Science Fiction. His works -- including Orbital Decay; Clarke County, Space; Lunar Descent; Labyrinth of Night; Rude Astronauts; The Jericho Iteration; The Tranquillity Alternative; and All-American Alien Boy -- have attracted attention from hard SF adherents for their gritty depictions of life and work in near-Earth space.

A resident of St. Louis, Mo., Steele recently received both the 1996 Hugo Award and the 1996 Science Fiction Weekly Reader Appreciation Award for his novella "The Death of Captain Future," which appeared in Asimov's in June 1995. The story is based on the character Captain Future, which was created by the late Edmond Hamilton. Steele takes a darkly humorous look at the grandiose ending of one SF's glamorous heroes.

Next issue Science Fiction Weekly will sit down with Steele to discuss his recent awards, his current projects and his view of SF, both hard and otherwise. If you have a question for Steele, please use the form below:
