"Visible Light is C. J. Cherryh's first book of short fiction. It is a showcase of this extraordinary author's talents and versatility. Throughout the book, she has crafted an intriguing and enlightening dialogue which is a very personal expression of a gifted writer." "Cherryh (pronounced "Cherry") appended a silent "h" to her real name because her first editor, Donald A. Wollheim, felt that "Cherry" sounded too much like a romance writer. Her initials, C. J, were used to disguise the fact that she was female at a time when almost all science fiction authors were male. The author has an asteroid, 77185 Cherryh, named after her. Referring to this honor, the asteroid's discoverers wrote of Cherryh: "She has challenged us to be worthy of the stars by imagining how mankind might grow to live among them." Cherryh was the Guest of Honor at FenCon IX in Dallas/Fort Worth on September 21–23, 2012.". Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket .
