Diane Duane

Diane Duane (b. May 18, 1952) is a science fiction and fantasy author. Her works include the famous Young Wizards children's series.

Biography

Born in New York City, she grew up in Roosevelt, Long Island. After school, she studied nursing and practiced as a psychiatric nurse for two years until 1976, when she moved to California where she worked as an assistant to David Gerrold. Her first own novel was published by Dell Books in 1979, and she subsequently worked as a freelance writer. (Gerrold wrote an "overture" to that novel, on the grounds that he'd rather be making overtures than introductions to Diane.) In 1981, she moved to Pennsylvania. After her marriage toNorthern Irish author Peter Morwood in 1987, they moved to the UK and then to Ireland, where she currently resides in County Wicklow.
