[edit] Biography

Applegate was born in Michigan in 1956. Since then she has lived in Texas, Florida, California, Minnesota and Illinois, and currently lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. She has a son named Jake, although she says the Animorph leader isn't named after him.[2][3] In 2003 she and her husband, Michael Reynolds, her co-author on many projects including Animorphs, adopted their daughter, Julia, in China.[citation needed] Following the end of Animorphs, Applegate took three years off. She is back at work and recently sold a picture book called "The Buffalo Storm," to Clarion, placed a middle reader novel called "The Stars Remain," (renamed "Home of the Brave") and an early chapters series "Time-Out Tales" with Harper Collins.[citation needed]
