Jean Ferris
Jean Ferris (born January 24, 1939) is an American writer best known for young-adult fiction. She now lives in San Diego, California, with her husband who is a lawyer. ==Biography== Ferris was born in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. She started to write at seven years old, keeping a diary. She moved around frequently, attending three high schools and Stanford University, for a B.A. and an M.A. in speech pathology and audiology. Ferris wrote her first novel for young adults (''Amen, Moses Gardenia'', published in 1983) when one of her children's 14-year-old friends tried to commit suicide. Since then she tried writing screenplays, adult mystery, adult historical novels, and middle-grade novels, but nothing suited her as well as writing for teens. Her two daughters are full grown, and they are both teachers. Ferris' hobbies and interests are: traveling, reading, long walks with friends, movies, theater, and reading books onto tape for the Braille Institute.
