this is something we ALL need

and dark roasted blend has put it in one place

(note: this guide is WICKED COMPREHENSIVE). this is an ABSOLUTE MUST for anyone interested in this genre. a MUST i tell you

here's a tiny bit of the description of it from the site itself:

...........Some notes about the structure and contents of this Guide:

We tried to include the full spectrum of genre writers: science fiction, fantasy, horror, young adult, paranormal romance (only highlights) and even slipstream "magic realism" authors. We arbitrarily drew the line at 1990, and only include writers who were active in the field and writing since that year (if a particular author stopped writing after 1990, he or she is not included, but can be checked out in our general Writer's Directory at DRB SF Site).

All pen names are listed inside the "Notes" field; for a complete list of SF&F pen names we refer you to this page..............

The Ultimate Guide to Modern Writers
of Science Fiction and Fantasy

(the guide itself is a link inside the link above. get to clickin'. YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY)
