“In
fantasy, you can make a complete break, and you can put people in a situation
where they are confronted with things that they would not confront in the real
world.” – Elizabeth Moon
Born Susan Elizabeth Norris on March
7, 1946 in Texas, Moon wrote her first “book” at age 6 and started writing
Science Fiction and Fantasy as a teenager – something she first looked upon as
a sideline before realizing she had a knack for not only creating new worlds
but creating worlds that a lot of people wanted to read about.
A graduate of Rice University, she
had a career as a U.S. Marine Corps officer and started writing science fiction
with a military twist, something that she continues doing yet today. When not writing SciFi or Fantasy, she also
has been a successful newspaper columnist and opinion writer.

“My personal feeling about science
fiction,” she said, “is that it's always
in some way connected to the real world, to our everyday world.“
