Stephen King: A biography
Stephen King was born on September 21, 1941 in the United States in the state of Maine, the city of Portland.
Stephen's parents adopted a boy two years before his birth.
King grew up with an older half brother, David.
When Stephen was two years old, his father left the family.
The mother of two sons held on, not losing heart.
The woman was helped in the upbringing of boys by many relatives.
King, his mother and brother moved from place to place until they settled in Maine.
King's mother looked after her elderly parents for a long time.
When the old people died, the woman got a job as a housekeeper in one of the institutions.
The brothers went to school at that time.
At a time when the family had to move a lot, seven year old Steven found a box of horror and science fiction books.
After reading the stories, the boy was very impressed.
When King was 12 years old, the brothers decided to publish their own newspaper called "Dave's Mustard Plaster".
The content of the newspaper included stories that took place in his hometown of Dorham.
In each issue, Stephen published his own story with a sequel.
The price of the newspaper requested by the boys is 5 cents.
Naturally, mostly friends and relatives bought the newspaper.
Together with a classmate Chris, Stephen published a collection of short stories "People, Places and Creatures".
The first real publication of Stephen King happened in the Comics Review edition.
While still at school, King took part in the publication of the newspaper "Drum".
The guy never doubted that he would become a writer, having dreamed of doing this craft all his life.
In high school, King could not decide whether to go to university or go to serve in Vietnam on a voluntary basis, where he could collect interesting facts for future novels.
Steve had problems with his eyesight, so his mother tried in every possible way to dissuade her son from the service, which she managed.
Thus, after graduating from high school, he entered the university.
To pay for his studies, King got a job at a weaving factory King began writing in his first year of study.
His first work was the novel "Put up with it", after that Steve started writing a full fledged novel "The Long Walk", which the author sent to the publisher, but King was refused publication.
That is why the "Long walk" had to be postponed in a "long box".
After graduating from the university, Stephen King received a bachelor's degree in English with the right to teach secondary school students.
Since the young author had no experience, it was not possible to get a job in the specialty.
At first, King got a job in a laundry, but there was not enough money for living.
His stories were sometimes published in local men's magazines.
The material side left much to be desired.
In 1971, the young King managed to get a job as a teacher at the school.
In his spare time, Steve wrote a novel, but all the works were rejected by publishers.
In the summer of ' 99, Stephen King was hit by a car while he was walking around the city.
He had very serious injuries, the doctors decided that the man should be transported to the Medical Center of Maine.
King stayed in the hospital for about three weeks, and as soon as he was discharged, he immediately began writing new novels.
Stephen King: Books Once in King's life, everything turned upside down.
Tabitha's wife found scraps from a draft novel thrown out by Steve in the trash, the author considered them completely ridiculous.
The novel told about a girl with paranormal abilities, who, to put it mildly, was offended by classmates.
Tabitha tried her best to persuade King to continue writing the novel.
Suprun was sure that the story would be interesting to both publishers and readers.
Steve's wife was right, the publishing house "Dalbey" undertook to print the novel "Kerry".
The author was then paid two and a half thousand dollars as an advance.
The publisher sold the copyright to another publisher, receiving 400 thousand.
Stephen was awarded half of this amount.
From that moment, King realized that the work at the school was not his, and began to write hard.
In the 70s and 80s, King began publishing under the pseudonym Richard Bachman.
His main idea was to check whether he could become popular under this name.
The author was gnawed by doubts that his success was accidental.
King chose the surname Bachman for a reason.
His favorite musical group was the band "Bachman Turner Overdrive".
The books were published with a fictional biography.
Bookstore clerk Steve Brown was able to expose King's pseudonym.
The man noticed the similarity between the works of both authors.
A story was invented that Richard allegedly died of cancer.
In 1985, King admitted that he wrote it under the pseudonym Richard Bachman.
In 1982, the first of the seven books of the Dark Tower cycle, The Shooter, was published.
In the same year, Stephen managed to write a 300 page novel "The Running Man"in just 10 days.
In 1996, another sensational novel by Stephen King, The Green Mile, was published.
Since 1998, Steve has been the author of the scripts of the multi part film "The X Files".
In 2002, the horror author announced that he was ending his career as a writer.
He ran out of ideas, and he planned to put an end to the "Dark Tower".
But King's creative stagnation did not last long, after writing "The Dark Tower", he began the novel "The Fan", followed by the books "The Story of Lizzie", "Mobile Phone", "Blaze".
In March 2009, it became known that "The Dark Tower" by Stephen King will have a sequel.
The author still does not stop there.
It seems that there is still a lot of unreleased in his repertoire.
Many books by Stephen King have been made into films.
Stephen King: personal life The personal life of Stephen King is a bright and warm moment of his biography.
Stephen and his wife Tabitha have been living soul to soul together all their lives and are still happily married.
The King family owns three huge houses.
One is in Lovell, the other is in Bangor, and for a winter vacation the family goes to a mansion located near the Gulf of Mexico.
The couple has three children, and grandchildren have already appeared.
Tabitha has repeatedly tried herself as a writer, choosing a confessional genre.
The young mother could not devote proper time to her profession, her stories were not brought to a professional level, so they were not interested in them.
