Steven Barnes

Stevan Barnes ist ein renommierter afroamerikanischer Science-Fiction-Autor, Redner, kreativer Berater und Human Performance Technician. Er wurde am 1. März 1952 in Los Angeles, Kalifornien, geboren. Barnes hat bedeutende Beiträge zu verschiedenen Fernsehshows geleistet, darunter The Outer Limits, Baywatch, Stargate SG-1 und Andromeda. Sein schriftstellerisches Talent wurde bereits in jungen Jahren deutlich, doch erst in einem entscheidenden Moment seines Lebens umarmte er voll und ganz seine Identität als Schriftsteller.

Nach seiner Einschreibung an der Pepperdine University studierte Barnes verschiedene Fächer im Zusammenhang mit den Künsten, darunter Drama, Radio, Journalismus, Komposition, Literatur und alles außer Schreiben. Dies tat er, um seiner Mutter zu gefallen, die befürchtete, dass seine Träume als Schriftsteller ihn zum Scheitern führen würden, wie es sein Vater in seiner Karriere als Back-up-Sänger für Nat "King" Cole erfahren hatte. Doch Barnes konnte seiner Leidenschaft für das Schreiben nicht widerstehen, und als er an einem Kurzgeschichtenwettbewerb an seiner Universität teilnahm, wurde ihm die bemerkenswerte Wirkung seiner Geschichten auf andere bewusst. Nach seinem Sieg im Wettbewerb las er seine Geschichte einem Publikum von Alumni vor, die auf seine Worte mit Lächeln, Lachen, Nicken und Applaus reagierten. Dieser Moment bestätigte Barnes' Berufung als Schriftsteller und stärkte seine Entschlossenheit, seiner Leidenschaft nachzugehen, ungeachtet der Herausforderungen, die vor ihm lägen.

Barnes' erstes veröffentlichtes Stück Fiktion war die Novelle 'The Locusts' (1979), die er zusammen mit Larry Niven schrieb und die ihm eine Hugo Award-Nominierung einbrachte. Diese frühe Anerkennung in seiner Karriere veranlasste Barnes, seine schriftstellerischen Fähigkeiten weiterzuentwickeln und sich als respektierte Stimme in der Science-Fiction-Gattung zu etablieren. Im Laufe seiner Karriere hat er seine Erzählfähigkeiten kontinuierlich verbessert, sein Wissen durch Vorträge geteilt und seine Kreativität zu verschiedenen Fernsehproduktionen beigetragen. Barnes' unerschütterliche Hingabe zu seinem Handwerk und seine Fähigkeit, Menschen mit seinen Worten zu fesseln, machen ihn zu einer einflussreichen Figur in der Welt der Science-Fiction.
