David Gerrold is the Nebula and Hugo Award-winning author of dozens
of books for both adults and young adults. He began his career as
the precocious author of the teleplay "The Trouble with Tribbles,"
broadcast on the original "Star Trek" series and voted the series's
most popular episode of all time.
David lives with his son in Northridge, California. And while he
admits he no longer believes his son truly is a Martian, in
exasperating father-son moments - of which there are many - David
believes he still acts like one.
"Charming and funny" - "Kirkus Reviews"
"[A] very personal account of a middle-aged gay man's adoption of a
high-risk eight-year-old boy.... Charming and funny, the adopted
single dad wins our sympathy." -"Kirkus Reviews"
"The heart-searing moments are many but never overwritten, thanks
to Gerrold's bright, efficient exposition." -"Booklist"
"Gerrold, a Nebula and Hugo Award winner...deals with being a
single, gay parent of a child who insists he is a Martian, a common
defense mechanism used by abused and neglected children. The
account moves quickly through months of adjustment, doubt, and
finally acceptance of a situation that often has the potential for
disaster."-"Publishers Weekly"
"Sometimes parenting can be an encounter with aliens. "The Martian
Child" is based on the author's true story of parenting as a single
gay man. In the course of his undertaking, he becomes acquainted
with the habits and behavior of an even more exotic creature, the
Earth boy. It's a quick read, and a humanizing one." -" Bay Area
