Marian D. Moore lives in Harvey, La and works in the city of New Orleans. She converted a childhood love of science into a career in computing analysis. Her love of literature led her to writing poetry and science fiction, which has been published in periodicals ranging from Bridges to Asimov's Science Fiction. While Marian did some writing while attending Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, she began to first sharpen her skills in George Alec Effinger's University of New Orleans workshop and then in NOMMO Literary Society, led by the New Orleans writer and activist Kalamu ya Salaam.
