Ian McDonald - The Little Goddess (Asimov's, June 2005)
Hugo Nomination for Best Novella 2006

Ian McDonald, who has lived in Northern Ireland for most of his life, works in program development for an independent television production company. His most recent book is River of Gods, from Simon and Schuster (UK). The novel is set in a kaleidoscopic India one hundred years after independence. He tells us, “It was while researching River, on a side-trip up into Nepal, that I first encountered, and was fascinated by, the Kumari Devi.”

Great read!

I agree - that is a *really* good yarn

Ian's written over a dozen very high quality and critically applauded science fiction novels since the mid-Eighties, starting with Desolation Road. I particularly recommend you look up 'Chaga'. River of Gods was Ian's return to novel-writing after a five-year hiatus. Unfortunately, I don't think any of his books are out as ebooks. It would be nice to see his back catalogue become available in some form - I own the majority of it in paper.
