Cat Rambo, Writer




John Barth described Cat Rambo's writings as "works of urban mythopoeia" -- her stories take place in a universe where chickens aid the lovelorn, Death is just another face on the train, and Bigfoot gives interviews to the media on a daily basis. She has worked as a programmer-writer for Microsoft and a Tarot card reader, professions which, she claims, both involve a certain combination of technical knowledge and willingness to go with the flow. In 2005 she attended the Clarion West Writers' Workshop. Among the places in which her stories have appeared are ASIMOV'S, WEIRD TALES, CLARKESWORLD, and STRANGE HORIZONS, and her work has consistently garnered mentions and appearances in year's best of anthologies. Her collection, EYES LIKE SKY AND COAL AND MOONLIGHT is a finalist for this year's Endeavour Award.

She has edited anthologies as well as critically-acclaimed Fantasy Magazine, is a board member of Broad Universe, a member of the Codex Writers' Group, and volunteers with Clarion West.

Although no longer actively involved with the game, she is one of the minds behind Armageddon MUD, the oldest roleplay-intensive MUD (an interactive text-based game) on the Internet, which has been described as like no other mud I have played before, the most creative, emotionally involved mud on the Net, the most entertaining game I've ever played and a place of astonishing beauty and detail.

Upcoming convention appearances include Orycon, MidSouthCon, and Wiscon. Upcoming workshops and appearances include both a blogging workshop and a writing fantasy and science fiction class for Bellevue College this winter.

Cat is represented by Ginger Clark of Curtis Brown Ltd.

Cat's collection, Eyes Like Sky And Coal And Moonlight is now available for the Kindle, as well as other e-readers!
