Orson Scott Card

"The enemy's gate is down"

He was born in Richland, Washington in 1951, but grew up in California, Arizona and Utah.

He is married to Kristine, with five children; Geoffrey, Emily, Charles, Zina Margaret, and Erin Louisa.

He is a Mormon, something which can be seen in some of his books; his Homecoming Saga tells the story of the Mormons, but in a somewhat new setting.

Now, I don't know that much about Mormons, I don't know that much about their history, but from what I have read, the stories in the Homecoming Saga will be familiar to anyone who has read the Book of Mormon.

Bibliography

This bibliography will by no means be complete; I have started with putting the science fiction/fantasy-books I have read into the list, but if you find someone I left out, and should include, please let me know.
