Note: Birth place from the bio in her novel The Seraphim Rising (1997); it is also mentioned on the front page of her archived sff.net site but only in 1997 and by 1998 the site was updated with a separate bio page which only mentions "New York" but does mention the year of birth which the original page did not. Novel has a blurb at the end that says "Watch for a new novel by Elisabeth DeVos coming from Roc in 1998"; it was never published. This 2007 newsletter, https://stars.library.ucf.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1023, which includes a photo of the author holding a copy of her novel, says "she is currently working on the second draft of a new novel."
