✚ Mary Doria Russell was born on August 19, 1950, in Chicago, Illinois. Before becoming a renowned author, she pursued a career in biological anthropology and earned a Ph.D. in Paleoanthropology from the University of Michigan. She worked in the field for a time before turning to writing. Russell gained literary acclaim with her debut novel, "The Sparrow," published in 1996. The novel, blending elements of science fiction and spirituality, explores the first contact between humans and an alien species on a distant planet. Its sequel, "Children of God," followed in 1998. Apart from the Sparrow series, Russell has written other novels, including "A Thread of Grace," "Doc," and "Epitaph." Her works often delve into historical and philosophical themes, showcasing her versatility as a writer. While her background is rooted in anthropology, her transition to fiction writing has allowed her to weave intricate narratives that resonate with readers across different genres.
