C. J. Cherryh at Norcon 12, Oslo, Norway, August 1994.

C. J. Cherryh's career began with publication of her first books in 1976, Gate of Ivrel and Brothers of Earth. She has been a prolific science fiction and fantasy author since then, publishing over 60 novels, short-story compilations, with continuing production as her blog attests.[1] Ms. Cherryh has received the Hugo and Locus Awards for some of her novels.

Her novels are divided into various spheres, focusing mostly around the Alliance-Union universe, the Foreigner universe and her fantasy novels.
