About the Author

Master of suspense, Stephen King was educated in Maine. While attending the University of Maine at Orono, he wrote for the school newspaper. He was also active in the anti-war movement of the 1960s. While in college, he met his wife, Tabitha and they married in 1971.

Although King was licensed to teach high school English, no teaching jobs were immediately available. In order to provide an income, King worked in an industrial laundry and sold the occasional short story to men’s magazines. King found a teaching position at Hampden Academy in 1971.

He wrote at night and on weekends, creating short stories and novels. “Carrie” was bought by Doubleday & Co. in 1973. The book resulted in a major paperback sale that enabled King to write full-time. Since then, King has gone on to produce bestselling novels of suspense and terror.

The Kings remain married and living in Maine and Florida. They have three children and four grandchildren.
