CJ Cherryh
Carolyn Janice Cherry, better known by her pseudonym C. J. Cherryh, is an American writer of speculative fiction. She has written over 80 books since the mid-1970s, including the award-winning novels Hugo Downbelow Station and Cyteen, both set in her Alliance-Union universe. She is known for the “construction world”, which describes fields of fiction with great realism supported by in-depth studies of history, linguistics, psychology and archeology. Cherryh added a silent "h" to her real name because her first editor, Donald A. Wollheim, felt "Cherry" sounded too much like a romance writer. She only used her initials, C.J., to disguise that she was a woman at a time when most science fiction writers were men. The author has one asteroid, 77185 Cherryh, named after him. Referring to this honor, the asteroid discoverers wrote about Cherryh: "She challenged us to deserve the stars by imagining how humanity could grow to live among them. "
