After Katherine Applegate graduated from college, she spent
time waiting tables, typing (badly), watering plants, wandering
randomly from one place to the next with her boyfriend, and just
generally wasting her time. When she grew sufficiently tired of
performing brain-dead minimum-wage work, she decided it was time to
become a famous writer. Anyway, a writer. Writing proved to be an
ideal career choice, as it involved neither physical exertion nor
uncomfortable clothing, and required no social skills.
Ms. Applegate has written more than one hundred books under her own
name and a variety of pseudonyms. She has no children, is active in
no organizations, and has never been invited to address a joint
session of Congress. She does, however, have an evil, foot-biting
cat named Dick, and she still enjoys wandering randomly from one
place to the next with her boyfriend.
