BERNICE SUMMERFIELD
Professor Bernice ‘Benny’ Summerfield is a 27th-century archeologist, diarist, adventurer, space-traveller, mother and dipsomaniac originally invented by science-fiction author Paul Cornell. She stars in a series of novels, novellas, audio dramas and short stories, published originally by Virgin and latterly by Big Finish.
I’ve been a fan of Benny since her first appearance in 1992. Recently I’ve been privileged to contribute to her ongoing saga in the following short-story anthologies:
- Collected Works, which is structured partly around a storyline I contributed. The anthology contains five short pieces by me around the theme of ‘Perspectives’, and a final story, ‘Future Relations’, which I co-authored with the volume’s editor, Nick Wallace.
- A Life Worth Living, edited by Simon Guerrier, which includes my story ‘Sex Secrets of the Robot Replicants’.
As an additional extra, my rejected short story pitches for the intervening Benny anthology, Something Changed, are available.
