Dave Wolverton

Dave Wolverton (born 1957) is a science fiction author who also goes under
the pseudonym David Farland for his fantasy works. He currently lives in St.
George, Utah with his wife and 

five children.

[edit] Career

Dave Wolverton began writing during college and entered short stories into
various contests. His career began in 1987 when he won the top award in the
L. Ron Hubbard "Writers of the Future" contest.

Dave Wolverton became a judge for that contest in 1991. In addition, he
edited the annual anthology before passing on the role to Algis Budrys.

Other awards he has been nominated for include the Nebula Award in the Best
Novellette category for his short story After a Lean Winter. He has also
been nominated for a Hugo Award.

(In putting together  info about Dave, he wrote me with: However, my latest
novel, NIGHTINGALE, has won four awards in the last few weeks, and that
probably isn't in the bio.)

In the summer of 1998 Dave Wolverton broke the world record for the most
book signings in one sitting, which he achieved with A Very Strange Trip.

Under his Pseudonym David Farland, he writes fantasy, leaving his real name
for his science fiction novels.

In his spare time Dave Wolverton is also a Boy Scout leader.

Wolverton has also worked as an English professor at Brigham Young
University.

He is also responsible for the concept of "lurkers" in the well-known RTS
(Real-time strategy) game Starcraft: Brood War.
