Moore was raised near
Gloucester,
Ontario. She began writing in earnest while at Emily Carr Middle School. Her interest in the
fantasy genre began to blossom after studying
Ursula K. Le Guin's
Earthsea novels in grade 7, and she would escape school grounds during lunch hours to play
Dungeons & Dragons with a group of friends. Subsequently, she went to high school at
Canterbury High School (Ottawa) for the Performing Arts to study
clarinet. Her post-secondary studies were at
Carleton University and then a law degree at
Queen's University. She practices family law while writing in her spare time, or vice versa. ==Bibliography==
