GAY, Anne

GAY, Anne
(1952-)
   UK teacher and writer who began publishing sf with "Wishbone" in Gollancz-Sunday Times Best SF Stories (anth 1987) ed anon. Her first novel, Mindsail (1990), very promisingly describes an alien planet to which the passengers of a crashed human starship have had to adjust, gradually evolving into fragmented and warring societies in the process. Romance elements - the female protagonist's rather prolonged search for ahusband - interfere to some extent with the revelations, but the book leaves a vivid memory trace.The Brooch of Azure Midnight (1991), an sf tale with some of the tone of the "gate romance" common to FANTASY from the time of H.P. LOVECRAFT, confronts an expanding Terran culture with the challenge and opportunity of wormhole access to the stars. Dancing on the Volcano(1993) less successfully.
