In 1971, just out of college, he got a night job guarding sewers in New York City. He wrote his first published science fiction story, "The Guy with The Eyes", to get out of that job. In 1975 he married Jeanne Robinson, a choreographer, dancer, and Soto Zen monk, who co-wrote his Stardance Trilogy. They had a daughter, Terri Luanna da Silva, who once worked for Martha Stewart. According to Robinson, he had always been known as "Robbie", a contraction of his last name, until he became sick of it, feeling "it was kind of a juvenile name for a college man." He asked his friends for a new first name, and they came up with "Spider", though each for a different reason.". Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket .
