Watts, Peter: - Peter Watts is a former marine biologist, flesh-eating-disease survivor and felon/tewwowist whose novels-despite an unhealthy focus on space vampires-have become required texts for university courses ranging from Philosophy to Neuropsychology.
He lives in Toronto with fantasy author Caitlin Sweet, five cats, a pugilistic rabbit, a Plecostomus the size of a school bus, and a gang of tough raccoons who shake him down for kibble on the porch every night..
He seems disproportionately popular in countries with a history of Soviet occupation.
His (somewhat shorter) list of 22 actual wins includes the Hugo, the Shirley Jackson, and the Seiun.
His work is available in 24 languages, has appeared in 32 best-of-year anthologies, and been nominated for 59 awards.
