Pearl Zane Gray was born January 31, 1872 - October 23, 1939 in Zanesville, Ohio. He had a happy upper-middle childhood, as his father was a successful dentist. But,there was an occasional fistfight with boys, that teased him about his first name being.... Pearl. He later replaced it with his mothers maiden name.... Zane. A scout for the university of Pennsylvania, convinced him him to play on the college baseball team, and study there. He graduated in 1986 with a degree in dentistry.  Seems Zane did not have much fondness for the idea of replicating his father’s safe but unexciting career path.  Searching for an alternative, Grey decided to try his hand at writing.  His very first attempt was an uninspiring historical novel about a family ancestress.

  Danielle Steel is the fourth-best-selling fiction author of all time! It is estimated 800 million copies of her work has been sold!  I’ve written 161 books (I’m published in 69 countries and 43 languages), which seems like a lot, even to me. I publish six books a year (7 this year), and work on several at the same time. Sometimes I work on five books at the same time. It sounds crazy, but it works for me, like an artist who has several painting in progress. It’s a juggling act, but I love it. And I try to keep the books different, so I do historicals and books with contemporary themes, books that deal with problems or tragedies and what that does to people’s lives.

And it’s a plan for how, if we keep our heads, we might just be able to flip the script and arrive at a radically better future.” –From the Introduction
