Elizabeth Moon

Elizabeth Moon earned degrees in history and biology and in between served in the US Marine Corps from 1968-1971, finishing as a First Lieutenant. Writing for her own pleasure since childhood, she sold her first story, "ABCs in Zero-G", to Analog in 1986. Her first novels were "The Deed of Paksennarion" fantasy trilogy: Sheepfarmer's Daughter (1988), which won the Compton Crook Award; Divided Allegiance (1988); and Oath of Gold (1989). Among many later novels are two in collaboration with Anne McCaffrey; SF series "The Serrano Legacy" beginning with Hunting Party (1993); first contact novel Remnant Population (1996), a Hugo Award nominee; and near-future SF novel The Speed of Dark (2002), about an experimental treatment that might "cure" an autistic child, and which is on this year's final Nebula Awards ballot. Trading in Danger, the first in far-future military space-adventure series "Vatta's War", appeared October 2003; book two, Moving Target, is due October 2004. She lives in Florence, Texas, with her husband and their adopted son Michael.
