Elizabeth Moon

Elizabeth Moon, one of the best author, is an American science fiction and fantasy author.
I like rading her books.
She attained the rank of 1st Lieutenant during active service with the US Marine Corps, which she joined in 1968 having obtained a Bachelor's degree in History from Rice University.
Later she additionally obtained a B.A. in Biology. She is also an experienced paramedic.
That's why she can write so great fictions.

Moon started writing when she was a child and attempted her first book which was about her dog at age 6.
Because of this she was inspired to write creatively and began writing science fiction in her teens.
She first got serious about writing in her mid-thirties and had a newspaper column in a county weekly newspaper.
Her first novel was The Sheepfarmer's Daughter which won the Compton Crook Award.
Most of her writings contain military science fiction themes, though biology, politics and personal relationship issues also feature strongly.
The Serrano Legacy is a space opera.
The Speed of Dark is a near-future story told from the viewpoint of an autistic computer programmer, inspired by her own autistic son Michael.
