She sold her first story when she was 16 for $4.67.Her mother, and sometimes her father, read aloud to her every night. They sang to her too, and many of their songs were really stories. She couldhardly wait until she could read and write her own books. But in first grade, for some reason, she couldn't make sense of reading for a while. By the time she reached fifth grade, however, writing book was her favorite hobby. She rushed home from school each day to write down whatever plot had been forming in her head, and at sixteen her first story was published in a church magazine. In college, where she was studying to be a clinical psychologist, she was able to pay her tuition by writing stories. When she got her bachelor's degree, she decided she wanted to write more than anything else, so she gave up plans to graduate school and began writing full-time. She has since published, for both children and adults.
