"Those readers fortunate enough to get their hands on this collection of stories will not be disappointed...These stories will immerse you in the infinite possibilities of existence" Lawrence Krauss
The Ender series has reached over 20 million readers worldwide, and the original novel is currently being developed as a movie by Lynn Hendee and Robert Chartoff, co-producer of The Right Stuff, Raging Bull and the Rocky series, with Card writing the screenplay. These books comprise only the beginning of this prolific author’s bibliography.
Card has broken new ground with each of his major works. "The Homecoming Saga" (the novels The Memory of Earth , The Call of Earth, The Ships of Earth, Earthfall and Earthborn) was a retelling of ancient scripture as science fiction. Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus is the sine qua non of alternative history novels, in which time travelers return from the future to keep Columbus from discovering America. Card’s innovative "American Fantasy" series (The Tales of Alvin Maker) reexamines American history in a magical version of the Western frontier.
Card has written two books on writing, Character and Viewpoint and How to Write Science Fiction and Fantasy, the latter of which won a Hugo Award in 1991. He has taught writing courses at several universities, including a novel-writing course at Pepperdine, and workshops at Antioch, Clarion, Clarion West, and the Cape Cod Writers Workshop. Card says he enjoys teaching dedicated writers because he believes they will contribute to the overall quality of literature available to avid readers like him. "The writers I like to help," he explains, "are the ones who have the initiative to write and the confidence to mail things off to publishers. At that point, the reason I like to help them is simple: I love to read good stories, and there aren’t enough of them. If I can help increase the quantity of good storytellers in the world then my odds of finding more good stories to read, and of living in a community where good stories are widely read, vastly improves."
Card received degrees from Brigham Young University (1975) and the University of Utah (1981). He currently lives in Greensboro, North Carolina with his wife Kristine, and their five children: Geoffrey, Emily, Charles, Zina Margaret, and Erin Louisa.
