...and let's not forget Charles deLint, who I must assume is Canadian,
due to his subject matter.  His new book, MULENGRO, is a murder mystery
about Canadian Gypsys.

Charles de Lint is indeed Canadian, making his home in the national 
capital of Ottawa, although I tend to think of him as a fantasy
writer rather than a science fiction writer.  His first two novels
were HARP OF THE GREY ROSE and MOONHEART, both published as Ace
paperbacks.  A dynamite writer, however you classify him.

Another Canadian fantasist is S. M. (Steve) Stirling, author of 
SNOWBROTHER from Signet.  I haven't read it yet, but de Lint gave it
a glowing book review in THE OTTAWA CITIZEN newspaper.

"Ashland, Kentucky" in the November ASIMOV's by Terry Green is also a
Canadian story, as is the piece by Andrew Weiner in the Winter issue of
NIGHT CRY (a digest-sized spin-off from THE TWILIGHT ZONE magazine).

And, this year's Nebula and Hugo winner, William Gibson (for NEUROMANCER)
is from British Columbia on Canada's west coast.
