Stephen King was born in Portland Maine in 1947. He and his brother David spent much of their childhood living between Fort Wayne, Indiana, (where his father's family lived) and Massachusetts and Maine with his mother and her family. Eventually the brothers settled with their mother in Durham Maine, where the boys attended school. They were raised mainly by their mother, their father having left home one day for a package of cigarettes and never returning.
King graduated high school in 1966, then went on to the University of Maine at Orono to earn a Bachelors of Arts degree in English.
It was while in College that King met his wife, Tabitha Spruce, while they were both working at the Folger Campus Library.
In 1970 King graduated, and a year later married Miss Spruce.
King was unable to find work teaching initially, and he and Tabitha lived off of his earnings as a laborer at an industrial laundry, and her student loans and savings. Occasionally King would sell one of his short stories, which brought in some money, but this began to happen after many, many rejection letters. His first published story was "I Was a Teenage Grave Robber" in Comics Review in 1967. Hard work and persistent writing paid off eventually. King published stories more frequently, in men's magazines mainly, and many of these stories were later compiled into the Night Shift collection.
King began teaching high school in 1971 at Hamden Public High School in Maine.
He wrote on weekends and evenings, still managing to produce short stories and novels.
None of the novels were accepted for publication until the spring of 1973 when Carrie was published, after King's wife fished it out of the garbage where he had thrown it during an exceptionally disheartened mood. Carrie brought financial relief, and freedom in that it enabled King to leave teaching and concentrate solely on his writing.
Carrie was a huge success, and following it were a long list of novels that soon made Stephen King a name known in households the world over.
