Nancy Kress is a published American author. She also goes by the name of Anna Kendall. She has also worked on a variety of movie sets in addition to writing many novels and series.
Nancy Anne Kress was born on January 20, 1948, in Buffalo, New York. Her maiden name was Koningisor. She grew up in the East Aurora area. She went to SUNY Plattsburgh and would graduate with her Masters degree in English.
Before writing, she worked in elementary school as a teacher. She briefly also taught college English for a while. She would move to Rochester in 1973 when she married her husband, Michael Kress. The pair had two children together, both sons. The pair would end up divorcing in 1984.
Around that time, the author decided to work and got a job at an ad agency. Later, she would go to marry again. She was wed to Charles Sheffield in 1998, also a writer. The two were happily married. Charles sadly passed away in 2002. Kress decided to move to Rochester once more and to be close to her children, who had grown up.
Just a few years later, the author opted for another change of pace. She decided to move to the west coast to enjoy living in the city of Seattle in 2009. She would go on to get married once more in 2011 to Jack Skillingstead, also an author.
She started writing back in 1976 and got a lot of attention when her novella was released in 1991. Beggars In Spain would later be extended and expanded into a full novel that carried the same title. The novella won her a Nebula and a Hugo Award.
Kress has written full novels as well as short stories. Her columns are regularly printed in Writer’s Digest. She also attends various writing workshops and can be found sometimes at the Writers Center. She was also a guest professor in the Winter of 2008 and 2009 for literature in Germany.
She was awarded a Nebula Award in 2013 for her work on the best novella. She won another for her work “Yesterday’s Kin” in 2015. She usually writes sci-fi stories that are more technically realistic than other works and they are frequently set in a future that is close to our own. She enjoys science fiction and ballet and does research to make sure that the things that she writes about are accurate and believable.
A lot of her work involves topics such as genetic engineering or artificial intelligence. She also includes technology in many of her stories and her stories often share the same types of technologies. The writer creates her own words, such as ‘genemod’ which is a reference to genetic engineering. She also refers to foamcast, a building material that is both sturdy and light in weight. It appears in many of the short stories and novels by the author.
Nancy Kress is the creator and author of the Sleepless series. The first novel in this series became available to readers for the first time in 1991. That is when her popular Beggars in Spain story first came out. She later made the shorter story longer and kept the title. The series would see the release of a second novel and a third. Beggars Ride made this engaging fictional series a trilogy in 1996.
Beggars In Spain is the exciting first book in the Sleepless series by Nancy Kress. If you love stories that are set in the future but are also full of twists and turns in a science fiction fashion, this is a novel for you to check out!
The future is somewhere in the near proximity, and the world has changed. Some people in this world not require any sleep to function at all. When it comes to Leisha Camden, she was one of the individuals that had their genetics modified so that when it comes to the night time habit of lying down and getting sleep, she simply did not need to do it.
While Leisha does not require rest in this way, her twin Alice does. She’s the normal one, the one that they did not attempt to modify so that they could keep her as the control– something to compare results to. This does introduce a complicated dynamic into the twins and their relationship.
Alice and Leisha do share a good amount of jealousy and problems that are similar to those going on in society at large. There are quite a few advantages to be had by being Sleepless. You have more time than other people to do to work and get things done. Studying and having more hours to get ahead is simply part of your life. On top of that, you enjoy all of the best in health and in intelligence.
Even though the individuals that do not sleep were welcome on the planet Earth, they soon start to outpace that status. As a result, the Sleepless escape with their children to a space station in orbit. Their goal is to construct a society of their own that they can be accepted and prosper in.
Not all of them decide to go, however. Leisha decides to stay behind, and so do a few of the others. They want to have all humans be accepted on Earth, whether they are a sleeper or a sleepless. But when a conspiracy is slowly unfolding in their midst and plans of revenge around them, can they get the world to see their point of view? Pick up the exciting debut story in the Sleepless series to find out!
Beggars and Choosers is the thrilling second novel in the Sleepless series by Nancy Kress. Genetic modification is a part of America, and millions of people get supported by intellectually superior, handsome and gene-modified individuals that have been tailored to not need sleep. The Sleepless are similar, but different.
These humans now have taken a step back from the human race at their own island retreat. They release scientific advances periodically out to a world that is close to collapsing. With a population of drones without jobs and genetic research and nano-tech’s effects on the world taking shape, can the world be salvaged before it is too late? Read this book to find out!
