Vonda Neel McIntyre (born August 28, 1948) is a Pacific Northwest science fiction author. ==Biography== Vonda N. McIntyre was born in Louisville, Kentucky, the daughter of H. Neel and Vonda B. Keith McIntyre. She spent her early childhood on the east coast of the United States and in The Hague, Netherlands, before her family settled in Seattle in the early 1960s. She earned a BS with honors in biology from the University of Washington in 1970. That same year, she attended the Clarion Writers Workshop. McIntyre went on to do graduate work at University of Washington in genetics.〔 In 1971, McIntyre founded the Clarion West Writers Workshop in Seattle, WA with the support of Clarion founder Robin Scott Wilson. She contributed to the workshop until 1973.〔http://www.clarionwest.org/about〕 McIntyre won her first Nebula Award in 1973, for the novelette '"Of Mist, and Grass, and Sand". This later became part of the novel ''Dreamsnake'' (1978), which was rejected by the first editor who saw it, but went on to win both the Hugo and Nebula Awards. McIntyre was the third woman to receive the Hugo Award.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thehugoawards.org/hugo-history/ )〕 McIntyre's debut novel, ''The Exile Waiting'', was published in 1975. In 1976, McIntyre co-edited ''Aurora: Beyond Equality'', a feminist/humanist science fiction anthology, with Susan Janice Anderson.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?423 )〕 She has also written a number of ''Star Trek'' and ''Star Wars'' novels, including ''Enterprise: The First Adventure'' and ''The Entropy Effect''. She wrote the novelizations of the films ''Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan'', ''Star Trek III: The Search for Spock'', and ''Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home''. McIntyre invented the first name of the ''Star Trek'' character Mr. Sulu, which became canon after Peter David, author of the comic book adaptation, visited the set of ''Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country'' and convinced director Nicholas Meyer to insert the name into the film's script.〔''The Comics Buyer's Guide'' #1614 (March 2006); Page 10〕 While taking part in a science fiction convention panel on SF in TV, McIntyre became exasperated at a fellow panelist's extreme negativity toward existing SF TV shows. She asked the panel and audience if they had managed to see ''Starfarers'', which she claimed was an amazing SF miniseries that had almost no viewers due to bad scheduling on the part of the network. No such show existed, but after reflecting on the plot she described, McIntyre felt it would make a good novel, and went on to write ''Starfarers'' as well as its three sequels, later referring to it as "my Best SF TV Series Never Made".〔(Casting Starfarers )〕 An enterprising fan went so far as to make a TV commercial advertising the fake series. McIntyre's novel ''The Moon and the Sun'', set in the court of Louis XIV of France, was rejected initially.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?9841 )〕 In 1997 Pocket Books picked up the novel, and in 2013 Pandemonium Pictures began to produce ''The Moon and the Sun'' movie, featuring Pierce Brosnan as the Sun King. McIntyre now lives in Seattle, Washington and enjoys crafting marine creatures to contribute to the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://crochetcoralreef.org/contributors/index.php )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vonda N.
