Talk:Steven Barnes

message: 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)
thread_title: Barnes' family

message: His bibliography is absolutely correct, I own the books he did with Niven and Pournelle, in fact you can research this pretty simply on Amazon.com. Basique 02:18, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Considering his bibliography, wouldn't it be appropriate to call him a writer rather than a "self-titled" writer? --SilverhandTalk 12:43, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Bibliography

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)
replies: text: 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)
thread_title:  This article makes no sense 

message: 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.
