Steven Earl Popkes (born October 9, 1952)[1] is an American science fiction writer living in the Boston area, known primarily for his short fiction. He attended the Clarion Writers Workshop in 1978.[2]
His first story, "A Capella Blues", was published in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine in May 1982.[3] Popkes has published more than 45 short works of fiction. He was a Nebula finalist for the story "The Color Winter", (1988). In the late 1980s, he was involved in the Future Boston collaboration, a project where a number of Boston area science fiction writers contributed stories set in a common future, where the city of Boston is slowly sinking underwater.[citation needed] One of his more acclaimed stories, "The Egg",[4] (Asimov's, January 1989) is set in the future Boston history, and was later incorporated into his short novel Slow Lightning (1991).
His other novels include Caliban Landing (1987), Welcome to Witchlandia (2016), God's Country (2020), and Jackie's Boy (2020).
