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] == Story Collection.
[YA] == The book is for young adults (however you define them).
[O] == Omnibus.  Includes other books.
