Okay, as promised, I was adopted as 
a baby and grew up in Palm Springs, 
California. I went to a great private 
school, where my teachers 
convinced me I could become 
anything I wanted. I knew from age 9, 
when I published my first poem in the 
Palm Springs Desert Sun, that I 
wanted to be a writer. -Ellen Hopkins ]]></about>    <gender>female</gender>  <hometown>Long Beach, CA. </hometown>  <born_at>03/26/1955</born_at>
