Born in 1947 in Cleveland, Ohio, Stephen R. Donaldson lived in India
(where his father was a medical missionary) until 1963. He graduated
from the College of Wooster (Ohio) in 1968, served two years as a
conscientious objector during the Vietnam War, doing hospital work in
Akron, then attended Kent State University, where he received his M.A.
in English in 1971. After dropping out of his Ph.D. program and moving
to New Jersey in order to write fiction, Donaldson made his publishing
debut with the first "Covenant" trilogy in 1977. That enabled him to
move to a healthier climate. He now lives in New Mexico. The novels for
which he is best known have received a number of awards. However, the
achievements of which he is most proud are the ones that seemed the
most unlikely. In 1993 he received a Doctor of Literature degree from
the College of Wooster, and in 1994 he gained a black belt in Shotokan
karate from Sensei Mike Heister and Anshin Personal Defense. After
completing the five-book, seven-year Gap sequence of science fiction
novels, Donaldson spent quite some time "on vacation." However, he
has now returned to work. His most recent book prior to The Man Who
Fought Alone was a second collection of short fiction, Reave the Just
and Other Tales. He is currently hard at work on "The Last Chronicles
of Thomas Covenant".
