So far, she has written four novels, six books of non-fiction, and quite a few essays and stories.
DuPrau doesn't write every minute of every day. She also putters around in her garden. She lives in California, where it's easy to grow everything from apples to zinnias.
DuPrau doesn't have children, but she has two nephews and a niece.
