Biography
Willis is a 1967 graduate of Colorado State College now the University of Northern Colorado.

She was inducted by the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2009 and the Science Fiction Writers of America named her its 28th SFWA Grand Master in 2011. Several of her works feature time travel by history students at a faculty of the future University of Oxford—sometimes called the Time Travel series. All four won the annual Hugo Award and all but To Say Nothing of the Dog won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards.
