Somtow Sucharitkul (I've heard it pronounced SOME-towe suture-WRIT-cool)
also writes as S. P. Somtow.  He's actually had books published under both
names (typically as Sucharitkul first).  In addition to writing SF, he's
also a composer of some fame.  He has also just made a direct-to-video
splatterpunk movie "The Laughing Dead" (starring, probably directed &
possibly written by). I've been told this movie has great production
values, a bizzare plot, and stars many SF authors as special guest zombies
& major characters.  Probably soon available a convention near you.

As for his writing, I find his sense of humor a bit too odd.  I can really
recommend his "Inquestor Tetralogy".  This series has scope, introduces
new art forms, and lots of ideas (even if they get out of control at
times).

[C] == Story Collection.
[YA] == The book is for young adults (however you define them).
