“They're all gonna laugh at you” Hello my name is Stephen Edwin King, I was born in Portland, Maine 1947 September 21. My parents married in 1939 July 23, and I have an older brother, David. My parents divorced when I was just a toddler. I spent a few years of my life going between Indiana and Connecticut until I started living with my mom. I went to Lisbon falls high school, and the to the university of Maine.
I made my first short story that was professional The Glass Floor in 1967. The Glass Floor is about a man's sister who died in a room and wants to why and how. I graduated from the university of Maine in 1970. I started to teach at Hampton academy in 1971. Although I was a teacher I still …show more content…
continued to write books.
In the summer 1973 I started to write my next book Second Coming, then soon later was called Jerusalem's Lot, the final title for the book is Salem's Lot.
The inspiration for the book was when I was reading Dracula to my students. But sadly later that year my mom died of cancer at the age of 59.
In the fall of 1973 I moved my growing family to Boulder Colorado. Boulder Colorado is where I started to write the shining. The Shining is about a family of three that is taking care of a motel, the father soon finds out the hotels dark secret, and goes on a murderous rampage.
In 1974 my first book that was published was Carrie. Carrie is about a girl in high school who has powers and uses them at prom and on her mother. Two years later the book was soon turned into a movie in 1976.
In 1975 we moved back to Maine a house in the lakes region of western Maine. At the house I finished The Stand which was set in Boulder Colorado and The Dead Zone which was set in Bridgton Maine. The stand was such a long book it was turned into a miniseries in 1994.
In 1977 we went to England and stayed there for three months for a book signing of the book The Shining. We moved back to maine in mid-december and purchased a new home in Center Lovell. After living there for a year we move to north Orrington near Bangor. I started teaching creative writing at the university of Maine Orono when we
moved.
In 2003 I won the recipresent of The National Book Foundation Medal distinguished contribute to the American Letter. The medal also came with $10000 dollars.
I am now on tour for my newest book End Of Watch in june. The book is the third volume to ‘Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself’.
