Elizabeth Moon
1945
Elizabeth Moon is science fiction and fantasy writer. She was born in 1945 (March the Seventh), South Texas, and grew up there, near the Mexican border. In a small city of McAllen, she started to write very early, at the age of six. As a little child, she loved storytelling and reading, and the first stories she wrote were mostly about the subjects that could interest a child’s soul; for example, she tried to write a whole book about her dog when she was six. She would also scribble some poetry while in school, or stories on pieces of paper. However, her parents divorced before she was born, and she lived with her mother. Elizabeth new very well that earning for living must be her priority, but still, she chose to deny jobs that were reserved for girls back then: secretaries, teachers, nurses etc.
