Talk:Steven Barnes

Barnes' family
I think the information on Barnes' family is wrong. According to www.tananarivedue.com Due met Barnes in 1997 so they can't have had a daughter in 1986. And Due says in an interview that Barnes has a daughter Nicki from his first marriage and they have a son Jason. MK2 03:38, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

I would find it very interesting to know some of the details of Steven Barnes' science fiction career as he seems an unlikely candidate to be paired with fellows such as Niven and Pournelle, judging from the content of this article alone.

This article makes no sense
This article current goes into great detail about the family life and martial arts expertise of "Steven Barnes", but then has a detailed bibliography of a "Steven Barnes" who is clearly a prominent science fiction author, about which not one word is said in the text. It's as if these are two entirely different people. Is this the case, or have we just failed to described in the prose the most notable part of Barnes's life? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:57, 6 October 2007 (UTC)


 * There does not seem to be much out there. This interview by Michael A. Ventrella has some detail, but I don't know the reliability of the source. —MJBurrage(T•C) 20:12, 15 January 2013 (UTC)


 * His the degree of his contribution in collaborations with Niven and Pournelle is questionable. Interestingly, a diminutive black martial arts expert is a character in all the works he co-authored.  Seems more like a friend who is allowed to contribute some martial arts knowledge in a limited way in their stories.  66.193.250.244 (talk) 17:17, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Asssassin's Creed series
I've added the Assassin's Creed series to the bibliography, as the cover to the book was released a while ago and the author is Steven Barnes, but nobody has apparently added it.
