In addition, he is an alumnus of the Clarion Writers Workshop, the most esteemed science fiction writing workshop in the country.
Following college, Zicree went on to a successful career as a writer-producer in film and TV, selling over 100 teleplays, screenplays and pilots to every major studio and network, including landmark stories for such shows as Star Trek Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Friday the 13th the Series, Twilight Zone, Babylon 5, Beauty and the beast, Forever Knight, Sliders, He-Man, and the Smurfs. He has also written extensively about his unusual family in features and TV pilots for CBS, NBC and Showtime.

Science Fiction Books for 12-15 year old boys?
Written by admin on April 6, 2009 – 1:28 pm -Can anyone recommend any good science fiction books for 12-15 year old boys?
Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, by Douglas Adams – don't mind the film, the books are excellent, and easy to read.
Any Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett.
I Robot, or any Isaac Asimov novel, I recommend I Robot as it is a series of short stories.
Red Dwarf by Grant Naylor., series of 3 or 4 books not sure, but perfect for 12-15's.

What are some good science fiction or fantasy books?
Written by admin on April 6, 2009 – 1:28 pm -I like books that feature strange things happening to normal people (Not books based solely on fantsasy lands or different species.) I enjoy books where normal (or at least they think they are normal) people go on journeys or go through odd science fiction happenings.
Any suggestions?
Silverlock, by John Myers Myers (yes, that is his name.)
The Dragon and the George, by Gordon R Dickson
Anything by Lois McMaster Bujold
Anything by Larry Niven
Anything by David Weber, but especially the Honor Harrington stories
Enjoy.
