With John Kessel, Van Name co-founded the Sycamore Hill Writer's Workshop in 1985, and in 1996 he, Kessel, and Richard Butner edited an anthology of stories written there, called Intersections: The Sycamore Hill Anthology, including one of his own stories.[1]
Van Name's first professionally published science fiction short story was "My Sister, My Self", in 1984, in the anthology Isaac Asimov's Tomorrow's Voices.[2] His first novel, One Jump Ahead, was published by Baen Books in 2007,[3] and won the Compton Crook Award for Best First Novel in the Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror genres in 2008.[4] It is the first book in the Jon and Lobo series, of which he published another four books until 2012.
In 2009, he premiered a stand-up comedy routine at Balticon, the Baltimore Science Fiction Convention.[5]
Van Name has worked in the information technology field for over 30 years, at one time serving as Vice President of Product Testing for Ziff-Davis, and has written many technical articles for print and on-line publications including Computer Shopper and PC Week. He currently is CEO of a technology assessment company, Principled Technologies, in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina.[6][7][8][9]
