Joan W. Blos was born on December 9, 1928, in New York. She's an only child. Her parents were teachers and she loves research, often spending most of her author time researching, rather than writing.

Her first children's book took twelve years to complete. She was almost forty when it was published.

She lives in Ann Arbor and enjoys camping, knitting, and making soup. She has a vacation house in New Hampshire. It's exciting!

The W stands for Winsor. Blos rhymes with close.
