When I returned to reading science fiction (after a 30+ year gap, age 20 to 50-something), one of the authors that I fell in love with was Ursula K. Le Guin. More recently, I came across Vandana Singh who writes in imaginative and unpredictable ways. She shared in her eulogy for Ursula that the old master had sought her out and provided mentoring. Their writing is quite different except for the heart-depth of the stories. Vandana was raised in India, has a Ph.D. in physics, and teaches physics at Framingham State University in Massachusetts. To date, her work is in forms shorter than a novel.
