Tomasz Pacyński

Tomasz Pacyński (4 February 1958 – 30 May 2005) was a Polish fantasy and science fiction writer, born in Warsaw. He was one of the creators and, from 2004, the chief editor of Fahrenheit, the first Polish Internet science fiction fanzine. He published short stories in such magazines as Science Fiction, SFera, and Fantasy, and in Internet fanzines such as Fahrenheit, Esensja, Fantazin and Srebrny Glob. He also wrote articles published in SFera and Science Fiction.

He made his debut as a fantasy writer with his 2001 novel Sherwood, based on the Robin Hood legend. He published four novels — the Sherwood fantasy trilogy and Wrzesień (September) — a post-apocalyptic political fiction novel, as well as numerous short stories. His humorous stories about Ded Moroz were published in 2005 in Linia ognia (Line of Fire) collection. Sherwood and Wrzesień received nominations for the Janusz A. Zajdel Award. In the Internet he often used the nickname Pacek. His son, Krzysztof Pacyński, is also a writer.
