More About the Author

I'm the author of eight science fiction novels, most recently two adult novels, STEWARDS OF THE FLAME and its sequel PROMISE OF THE FLAME. There's a lot of information about them at www.stewardsoftheflame.com. My six Young Adult novels (which are also enjoyed by adults) were originally pubished by Atheneum in the 1970s but have all been reissued by different publishers, in both hardcover and paperback, in the 21st century. CHILDREN OF THE STAR contains my trilogy THIS STAR SHALL ABIDE (aka HERITAGE OF THE STAR), BEYOND THE TOMORROW MOUNTAINS and THE DOORS OF THE UNIVERSE -- although these were originally published as YA novels, the omnibus was issued in 2000 by Meisha Merlin as adult SF. A new hardcover edition of my YA novel ENCHANTRESS FROM THE STARS, a Newbery Honor Book, was published by Walker in 2001 and an updated hardcover edition of the related novel THE FAR SIDE OF EVIL (which is for older teens) in 2003; both are also available in Firebird paperback editions. The updated hardcover edition of JOURNEY BETWEEN WORLDS, a romance for teenage girls, was published by Putnam in 2006 and is also available as a Firebird paperback.

I now work as a freelance editor of nonfiction anthologies. These appear in my list of titles but they consist of reprinted material by other authors; I write only the introductions.

Besides my main website about my writing and the Stewards of the Flame website, I maintain a large Space subsite -- which can be reached either from my home page or by going directly to www.sylviaengdahl.com/space/ -- and "Space Quotes to Ponder" (www.spacequotes.com) which is a collection of quotations from well-known people, and some not well known, about why it's essential for our species to expand into space.
