Personal Stuff about Stephen Krensky
It was not until I was twenty that I actually
took up creative writing. One of my favorite
parts of the process was imagining myself in
various characters' shoes, even if those
characters - dragons for example - didn't wear
shoes at all. A year later, in 1975, I graduated
from Hamilton College and began a six-month
internship at the New York Times Book Review.
I did not have the kind of childhood most people
would choose to write about. It was happy and
uneventful, with only the occasional bump in the
night to keep me on my toes. In my spare time,
however, I often imagined taking part in
breathtaking adventures -- sometimes as myself
and other times as Popeye, Robin Hood or
Superman. I always liked to make up stories,
especially lying in bed at night before I fell
asleep.
Since then I have been a full-time writer for
children. I married my wife, Joan, in 1984, and
we settled in my hometown of Lexington,
Massachusetts, where we live with our two sons,
Andrew and Peter. When I feel like I've spent
enough time hunched over my computer, I like to
play soccer, tennis and softball -- and read
books written by other people.
