Hester Bass

Born in Atlanta, Hester Bass grew up in McDonough, shaped by her mother's love of language, her father's love of family, her own love of the Beatles, and books by favorite authors such as Beatrix Potter and A.A. Milne. She dreamed of travel, adventure, and seeing her name on a book.

After receiving a B.A. in Communications from Simmons College in Boston, Hester Bass worked in radio and television advertising, was lead singer in a rock band, a Shakespearian actress, a singing telegram messenger in Manhattan, and appeared on two television game shows, including “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.” She has visited a dozen foreign countries and over half of the United States.

Her first children's book, So Many Houses, was published by Scholastic in 2006. Now Hester Bass visits classrooms and libraries to inspire children to reach for their dreams. She volunteers with the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and offers conference presentations to help other writers meet their goals. She currently lives with her family near Huntsville, Alabama.
