Sarah Monette's Bio

I was born and raised in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, one of the secret cities of the Manhattan Project. I studied English and Classics in college, and have gone on to get my M.A. and Ph.D. in English Literature. My first novel, Mélusine will be published in hardback by Ace Books in August 2005, the second, The Virtu, to follow in July 2006. I collect books, and my husband collects computer parts, so our living space is the constantly contested border betwen these two imperial ambitions.
