    Here I am in my home office. Can you tell from my clothes what time of year it is, and how much I save on my heating bill? I'm holding C.S. Lewis: The Man Behind Narnia. On the walls are pictures I used for writing another biography, Julius Caesar.Photo credit: Peggy Aulisio and Westport Shorelines

    Have you ever wondered how someone becomes a writer? I used to wonder that, too, ever since I decided (at age nine) to become a writer myself. But it took me a long time to figure out how to make my dream come true.
    I grew up in Southern California, graduated from Pomona College, and then went to work for a book publisher. That's how I met my husband, Robert Gormley - he was an editor working for the same company. We had two children, Katie and Jenny, and then we all moved from California to Massachusetts.

    Soon afterward, I started to give serious time to my own writing. I was thrilled to have some articles and essays and book reviews published, but still my stories were always rejected. Then, when my children were nine and seven, I tried writing a book for children. Bingo - at last I was writing the kind of stories that made me want to become a writer, back when I was nine! A year or so later my first book, Mail-Order Wings, was published.
