    Heidi E. Y. Stemple, author portrait

    Heidi E. Y. Stemple

    Heidi Stemple didn’t want to be a writer when she grew up. In fact, after she graduated from college, she became a probation officer in Florida. It wasn’t until she was 28 years old that she gave in and joined the family business, publishing her first short story in a book called Famous Writers and Their Kids Write Spooky Stories. The famous writer was her mom, author Jane Yolen. Since then, she has published almost 50 books and numerous short stories and poems, mostly for children, including her novel in verse The Poetry of Car Mechanics and the picture book, co-written with Jane Yolen, You Nest Here With Me.
    Heidi lives and writes on a big old farm in Massachusetts. Looking out her office window, she watches a dozen deer, a family of bears, three coyotes, two bobcats, a gray fox, tons of birds, and some very fat groundhogs. Once a year she calls owls for the Audubon Christmas Bird Count.
