Elizabeth Bear
Elizabeth Bear shares a birthday with Frodo and Bilbo
Baggins. This,
coupled with a tendency to read the dictionary as a child,
doomed her early
to penury, intransigence, friendlessness, and the writing of
speculative
fiction. She was born in Hartford, Connecticut, and grew up
in central
Connecticut with the exception of two years (which she was
too young to
remember very well) spent in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, in
the last house with electricity before the Canadian border.
She currently lives in the
Mojave Desert near Las Vegas, Nevada, but she's trying to
escape.
She's a second-generation Swede, a third-generation
Ukrainian, and a
third-generation Transylvanian, with some Irish, English,
Scots, Cherokee,
and German thrown in for leavening. Elizabeth Bear is her
real name, but
not all of it. Her dogs outweigh her, and she is much beset
by her cats.
