Timeheart

[Diane Duane]

All information pulled from "On Her Majesty's Wizardly Service" by Diane Duane, and "Owlsprings" - the web-site of Diane Duane and her husband Peter Morwood.  List of Duane's writings pulled straight from the Owlsprings page without permission, but with the added note that the staff of Timeheart are in the process of buying them all cuz they're brill.

Born in New York, Diane Duane worked as a psychiatric nurse before she became a writer: her first novel, The Door into Fire, was published in 1979.  She has written twenty-five novels for children and adults since then, including several Star Trek novels, and she has also written television scripts, audio tapes, comics and computer games, many connect to Star Trek.

Since 1988 she has lived in County Wicklow, Ireland with her husband, novelist Peter Morwood, and their cats.
