Nye, Jody Lynn
Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.
(1957- ) US author almost exclusively of fantasy as a solo author, though her collaborations with Anne McCaffrey – the Doona sequence, the Brainship sequence, and her contributions to the Planet Pirates sequence; for all titles see Checklist – intensify the fantasy tonality of initiating works by McCaffrey alone whose sf contours were relatively clear.
