She’s widely known as the author who gained acclaim for her 2005 fantasy novel Bloodangel, a work that really put her on the literary map. Following its success, she continued the story with the 2008 sequel Lord of Bones, further solidifying her reputation in the fantasy genre. Before all the fame, she had already laid the foundation for her future by graduating from Queen’s University—a milestone in her early life. Her maiden name was Wilson, and that’s how she was known before entering the public eye.

Her personal life has also drawn significant attention, especially her marriage to Elon Musk, the founder of Space X, which lasted from 2000 to 2008. During their time together, they built a family—she became a mother to five remarkable children. Griffin and Xavier are twins, while Damian, Saxon, and Kai are triplets. It’s clear that family has played a central role in her journey. Tragically, their first son, Nevada, passed away at just ten weeks old due to sudden infant death syndrome, a heartbreaking loss that undoubtedly shaped her path. Through both triumphs and trials, she’s remained a figure of resilience and creativity.
