Star Wars_ Tales From the Mos Eisley Cantina - Kevin J. Anderson [163]
He lived in Brazil for two years in the 1970s, where he first saw Star Wars in a crowded theater in Campinas—the only movie he saw during the entire two years. He could not understand the English through the bad sound system and had to resort to reading the Portuguese subtities.

From her earliest years BARBARA HAMBLY found fantasy and science fiction far more interesting than reality in the modest California town where she grew up. She attended college at the University of California in Riverside and spent one year at the University of Bordeaux in France. After obtaining a master’s degree in medieval history, she held a variety of jobs: model, clerk, high school teacher, karate instructor (she holds a black belt in Shotokan Karate), technical writer, mostly in quest of a job that would leave her with enough time to write. Finally, in 1982 her first novel was published by Ballantine/Del Rey.
Her novels are mostly sword-and-sorcery fantasy, though she has also written historical whodunits, two vampire novels, and novels and novelizations from television shows, notably Beauty and the Beast and Star Trek. She edited an anthology of original vampire stories, Sisters of the Night, and her STAR WARS novel, Children of the Jedi, was released in April 1995. Her interests besides writing include dancing, painting, historical and fantasy costuming, and occasionally carpentry. She resides in a big, ugly house in Los Angeles with the two cutest Pekingese in the world.
REBECCA MOESTA is the co-author, with Kevin J. Anderson, of the series of STAR WARS adventures for young readers, Young Jedi Knights. She is currently the co-editor of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America Forum. She holds a master of science degree in business administration from Boston University and works as a technical writer and editor at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
DANIEL KEYS MORAN claims he has never done anything or been anywhere interesting. He is the author of the wildly popular Tales of the Continuing Time, and does in fact very much resemble the character Trent from those books, except that he is handsomer, wittier, and a much better basketball player.
He is extremely pleased to have named, six years after the fact, the Cantina Bar song from Star Wars. It’s now called, of course, “Mad About Me.”
