ⓘ About Elizabeth Bear
Elizabeth Bear is an American author from Hartford Connecticut who has written numerous novel in several sub genres in fantasy. Sharing a birthday with Bilbo Baggins and Frodo and a love for reading the dictionary, the young Bear was doomed to early friendlessness, intransigence, penury, and a penchant for penning speculative fiction. With the exception of two years when she lived in the Northeast Kingdom in Vermont, Elizabeth for the most part grew up in central Connecticut in what is famously the last house connected to the grid before you reach the Canadian border. She is a third generation Transylvanian, a third generation Ukrainian, and second generation Swede with German, Cherokee, Scot, English, and Irish roots. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Anthologies series, Elizabeth Bear has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
