Biography


Jaime Lee Moyer fled California's endless miles of concrete and steel for the wilds of Ohio. Jaime now lives on the banks of a river with the two cats that own her, having successfully replaced big city vistas with a view that changes from verdant green forest, to snowy haunted wood with the seasons. She and the cats are very happy there.

She has published more than eighty poems in the last four years, both in literary and speculative venues. Her poetry was nominated for the Rhysling Award three years running and received honorable mentions and write ups in Ellen Datlow's YBFH for those same three years. Jaime sold her first short story to Lone Star Stories at the end of 2008.

Jaime was awarded the 2009 Columbus Literary Award for fiction for her novel, Delia's Shadow. This is an honor she never expected and is thrilled to receive. Her novels are represented by Tamar Rydzinski of the Laura Dail Literary Agency in New York.

She managed enough college to sharpen her thirst for knowledge, but ran out of money before she managed to complete a psychology degree. Her job history reads like most writers', a varied assortment of day-jobs to pay the bills so she could write. The bookstore jobs are her favorites. Ten years teaching Parent Education Classes were probably the most fulfilling.

The most important things she's learned in life are that snow falls in slow motion and that tomorrow is always another day. That seems like enough.
