(Breen), Marion (Eleanor) Zimmer
We
are saddened to announce the death of Marion Zimmer Bradley on September
25, 1999 -- see news and funeral
(links via the Marion Zimmer Bradley's FANTASY Magazine).
Marion
Zimmer was born in Albany, NY, on June 3, 1930, and married Robert Alden
Bradley in 1949. Mrs. Bradley received her B.A. in 1964 from Hardin Simmons
University in Texas, then did graduate work at the University of California,
Berkeley, from 1965-67.
She has
been a science fiction/fantasy fan since her middle teens, and made her
first sale as an adjunct to an amateur fiction contest in FANTASTIC/AMAZING
STORIES in 1949. She has also been writing as long as she can remember,
but wrote only for school magazines and fanzines until 1952, when she
sold her first professional short story to VORTEX SCIENCE FICTION. She
has written everything from science fiction to Gothics, but is probably
best known for her Darkover novels.
