About the Author
Elizabeth Moon grew up on the Texas-Mexico border. She has degrees in
history and biology, and programmed computers while in the Marine Corps. She began writing stories
in childhood, but didn't make a fiction sale until she was forty. She has seventeen books in print,
including The Speed of Dark. She and her husband live in Central Texas; their son, in his early
twenties, is autistic.
She loves the outdoors, rides horses, sings in a choir, and would rather do anything than clean house.
