Suzette Haden Elgin

Suzette Haden Elgin began writing science fiction novels to help pay for her Ph.D. in linguistics while raising five children: The Communipaths, Furthest,  Star-Anchored, Star-Angered and The Ozark Trilogy — Twelve Fair Kingdoms, The Grand Jubilee, And Then There’ll Be Fireworks.  Her current  novels are the Native Tongue series — Native Tongue, The Judas Rose, Earthsong — and with them, she constructed a language called Láadan which appeared separately in the Láadan Grammar & Dictionary. 

Suzette writes and publishes a newsletter, Linguistics & Science Fiction, and runs the Ozark Center for Language Studies, dedicated to the goals of reducing violence and disseminating information about linguistics. She has also written The Grandmother Principles for Abbeville Press and the book may also be found at Amazon.
