Joan D Vinge's best work is "The Snow Queen".  The Hugo winner is a
wonderful mixture of mythology and hard SF.  I also like "Psion", which
reads like a good Andre Norton juvenile.  The sequel "Catspaw" is much more
mature.  Lately she's been writing lots of movie novelizations; which,
while they pay the bills, are hardly high art.  

[C] == Short Story Collection.
[J] == The book is for juveniles (however you define them)
[O] == Omnibus.  Includes other books.
