March 17, 2009 )〕 some of her late ancestors claim to be of Viking heritage. A native of Hartford, Connecticut, she has been a media industry professional, a stablehand, a fluff-page reporter, a maintainer of microbiology procedure manuals for a 1,000-bed inner-city hospital, a typesetter and layout editor, a traffic manager for an import-export business, and "the girl who makes the donuts at The Whole Donut at three A.M." She lived in Las Vegas, Nevada for some time (the setting for the short stories "One-Eyed Jack and the Suicide King", "Follow Me Light", and "This Tragic Glass"), but she returned to Connecticut in January 2006. Her first novel ''Hammered'' was published in January 2005 and was followed by ''Scardown'' in July and ''Worldwired'' in November of the same year. The trilogy features Canadian Master Warrant Officer Jenny Casey, who is also the main character in the short story "Gone to Flowers". ''Hammered'' won the Locus Award for Best First Novel in 2006. ''The Chains That You Refuse'', a collection of her short fiction, was published May 2006 by Night Shade Books. ''Blood and Iron'', the first book in the fantasy series entitled "The Promethean Age", debuted June 27, 2006. She is also a coauthor of the ongoing Shadow Unit website/pseudo-TV series.

The opening quote in Criminal Minds episode "Lauren" (6.18) was a direct quote of the second and third lines of Bear's book ''Seven for a Secret'': "The secret to lying is to believe with all your heart. That goes for lying to yourself even more than lying to another." She is one of the regular panelists on podcast SF Squeecast, which won the 2012 and 2013 Hugo Awards for "Best Fancast."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Elizabeth Bear - Award Bibliography )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elizabeth Bear」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
