Those books are organized into The Ender Saga, the five books that chronicle the life of Ender Wiggin; the Shadow Series, that follows on the novel \u003ci\u003eEnder's Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e and are set on Earth; and the Formic Wars series, written with co-author Aaron Johnston, that tells of the terrible first contact between humans and the alien Buggers. Card has been a working writer since the 1970s. Beginning with dozens of plays and musical comedies produced in the 1960s and 70s, Card's first published fiction appeared in 1977--the short story Gert Fram in the July issue of \u003ci\u003eThe Ensign\u003c\/i\u003e, and the novelette version of Ender's Game in the August issue of \u003ci\u003eAnalog\u003c\/i\u003e. The novel-length version of \u003ci\u003eEnder's Game\u003c\/i\u003e, published in 1984 and continuously in print since then, became the basis of the 2013 film, starring Asa Butterfield, Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley, Hailee Steinfeld, Viola Davis, and Abigail Breslin. Card was born in Washington state, and grew up in California, Arizona, and Utah. He served a mission for the LDS Church in Brazil in the early 1970s. Besides his writing, he runs occasional writers' workshops and directs plays. He frequently teaches writing and literature courses at Southern Virginia University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe is the author many sf and fantasy novels, including the American frontier fantasy series The Tales of Alvin Maker (beginning with \u003ci\u003eSeventh Son\u003c\/i\u003e). There are also stand-alone science fiction and fantasy novels like \u003ci\u003ePastwatch\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHart's Hope\u003c\/i\u003e. He has collaborated with his daughter Emily Card on a manga series, Laddertop. He has also written contemporary thrillers like \u003ci\u003eEmpire\u003c\/i\u003e and historical novels like the monumental \u003ci\u003eSaints\u003c\/i\u003e and the religious novels \u003ci\u003eSarah\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRachel\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLeah\u003c\/i\u003e.
