    Extractions: Mr. Dunworthy, I am calling this report WILLIS WATCH because it's supposed to a record of my encounters with Connie. I'm sorry that I have not been able to communicate sooner. I know that there were many at the history lab who questioned the wisdom of sending an English major back in time. I suppose it is possible that a trained historian might have been more efficient about negotiating his way through the late twentieth century. But rest assured, all is well. My practicum is underway and I feel confident that it will be a success. To begin: I have been able to establish a new identity in this transitional time period. I know it is hard to believe, but I have become a science fiction writer. I must say that it is very difficult to make up lies about the future. However, I have found that if I write what I know about the twenty-first century, it doesn't seem to sell. The readers of this period are strangely obsessed with computers. Why not vacuum cleaners? Or electric toothbrushes? In any event, by assuming the identity of one of her fellow science fiction writers, I have been able to befriend Connie Willis without raising undue suspicion. ... so she invited me to critique early drafts of her novels Lincoln's Dreams (1987) and Doomsday Book (1992) in manuscript. Imagine my excitement at having the opportunity to shape these wonderful books, which I had first read as an undergraduate at the University of Mars at Robinson. What surprised me was how close these drafts were to the actual texts the world has come to know and love. I must confess, Mr. Dunworthy, that in a weak moment, I did suggest to Connie that she change the setting of Doomsday from the time of the Black Death to the time of the Great Dinosaur Extinction. In fact, I actually had her convinced that this would make Doomsday a much more commercial book. However, at the last moment I told her she had better stick with the plague. You see, I was afraid that by changing literary history I might strand myself forever in this backward era.

Ha una grande considerazione delle stelle del cinema, in particolare Harrison Ford e Fred Astaire." (David G.Hartwell, introduzione a "Portales non stop" (Nonstop to Portales, '97)). "…porta collane di Peter Pan, è sempre inesorabilmente allegra e normale, ammette candidamente di partecipare alle riunioni Tupperware e di cantare in un coro, ha un senso dell'umorismo ferocemente sardonico ed è in definitiva una normalissima moglie e madre di famiglia."

    Extractions: Connie Willis (Constance Elaine Trimmer Willis) on syntynyt vuonna 1945 Denverissä, Coloradossa. Hän opiskeli Pohjois-Coloradon yliopistossa englantia ja kasvatustieteitä valmistuen opettajaksi vuonna 1967. Hän toimi opettajana peruskoulussa vuoteen 1982, jolloin hänestä tuli päätoiminen kirjailija. Connie Willisin ura kirjailijana alkoi novellilla The Secret of Santa Titicaca , joka julkaistiin Worlds of Fantasyssa vuonna 1971. Uransa alkuvaiheessa Willis oli pääasiassa novellikirjailija. Novelli onkin se muoto, jonka hän mieluiten antaa tarinoilleen. Willis itse sanoo: "Mielestäni novelli on aina ollut tieteiskirjallisuuden menestynein muoto. Pidän eri tunnelmista, tyyleistä ja teemoista, joita novellissa voi tutkia. On välttämätöntä käyttää vain muutamaa henkilöä, luoda maailmoja vähin sanoin ja vihjein taustasta ja panna kaikki tarinan elementit palvelemaan kahta eri tarkoitusta". Willisin ensimmäinen romaani, Cynthia Felicen kanssa yhteistyössä kirjoitettu Water Witch , on tarina huijarista planeetalla, jolla on pulaa vedestä. Teos ei herättynyt suurta huomiota. Willisin lahjat alettiin huomata, kun novellikokoelma
