Cat Rambo, Writer at Large
|
John Barth described Cat Rambo's writings as "works of urban mythopoeia" -- her stories take place in a universe where chickens aid the lovelorn, Death is just another face on the train, and Bigfoot gives interviews to the media on a daily basis. She has worked as a programmer-writer for Microsoft and a Tarot card reader, professions which, she claims, both involve a certain combination of technical knowledge and willingness to go with the flow. In 2005 she attended the Clarion West Writers' Workshop and is a member of the Codex Writers' Group. Among the places in which her stories have appeared are ASIMOV'S, WEIRD TALES, CLARKESWORLD, and STRANGE HORIZONS, and her work has consistently garnered mentions and appearances in year's best of anthologies. She is the co-editor of critically-acclaimed Fantasy Magazine. She is one of the minds behind Armageddon MUD, the oldest roleplay-intensive MUD (an interactive text-based game) on the Internet, which has been described as like no other mud I have played before, the most creative, emotionally involved mud on the Net, the most entertaining game I've ever played and a place of astonishing beauty and detail. Upcoming convention appearances include World Fantasy Con and WisCon. Cat will be the Pro Guest of Honor at ConFusion in 2009. |
