Connie Willis is an American SF writer, the only author to date to have won the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award in all four lengths (novel, novella, novelette, and short story). She has also won the Robert A. Heinlein Award.
Works written by Connie Willis include:
Novels
- Water Witch (with Cynthia Felice)
- Lincoln's Dreams
- Light Raid (with Cynthia Felice)
- Doomsday Book
- Remake
- Uncharted Territory
- Bellwether
- Promised Land (with Cynthia Felice)
- To Say Nothing of the Dog
- Passage
- Inside Job
- D.A.
- All Seated on the Ground
- Blackout / All Clear (really, one book, but so big it was divided into two)
Short story collections
- Fire Watch
- Impossible Things
- Futures Imperfect
- Miracle and Other Christmas Stories
- Winds of Marble Arch and Other Stories
Connie Willis provides examples of the following tropes:
- Can't Take Anything with You
- Yet Another Christmas Carol: "Adaptation" is a rather less formulaic take on the standard Christmas visitation formula
- Divided We Fall
- Exact Eavesdropping
- Fix Fic
- Flatline Plotline
- Godwin's Law of Time Travel
- Good Shepherd
- History Marches On: The long timespan over which the Oxford Time Travellers series has been published (30 years and counting) leads to weird things like September Eleventh pooping up in the backstory in the last book and all the cats going extinct in 2004. It probably would have been easier just to make it an Alternate History where the Communists with the pinpoint replaced Al Qaeda, but apparently not.
- In Mysterious Ways
- In the Past Everyone Will Be Famous
- In Which a Trope Is Described
- Littlest Cancer Patient
- Never the Selves Shall Meet
- Temporal Sickness
- What Year Is This?
