Interestingly, Westerfeld had no formal writing training, not even a single english course in college. Instead, Westerfeld began his future profession of writing novels and by 2001 he had married Australian author, Justine Larbalestier, and had created a great collection of work. He graduated from Vassar College in 1985 with a bachelors degree in philosophy, but did not pursue that career. In his teenage years, Westerfeld enjoyed composing original music and went on to write songs for contemporary dance. This strong male figure was a large part of his life and future success. Growing up in both Connecticut and California, Westerfeld watched his prosperous father help in programing the Apollo Mission. As a child, he moved a lot with his family while his father worked as a computer programer. Born in Texas on May 5 of 1963, Westerfeld never imagined he would be a world famous writer. Well developed and successful author Scott Westerfeld has so far published 18 novels and continues writing today.
