Julia Ecklar

Julia Ecklar is a John W. Campbell-award winning science fiction author and a singer and writer of filk music who recorded numerous albums in the Off Centaur label in the early 1980s, including Minus Ten and Counting, Horse-Tamer's Daughter, and Genesis. Her Divine Intervention album released in 1986 was the first filk release to combine the lyrical elements of filk music with orchestral and rock arrangements. She has also written a number of science-fiction books under the pseudonym L.A. Graf (with partner Karen Rose Cercone). L.A. Graf reportedly stands for "Let's All Get Rich and Famous".
