Fern Michaels is an author of fiction. It is an identity and pen name created by the real life persona of Mary Ruth Kuczkir. The writer’s alter ego is frequently attached to her novels.

Fern grew up in the state of Pennsylvania in a small town called Hastings. When she grew older and went into the working world, she went by the first name of Mary. Her nickname is Dink, one that was given to her as a father based on her small size as an infant.

Michaels got a job and got married and would go on to have five children. When her youngest child was enrolled in school, her husband urged her to go out into the working world once more. She did end up getting rid of him and divorcing him as he was not that nice of a person. Not knowing what to do, Mary eventually found a safe place in the magical arms of the local library.

She didn’t know how to really be anything other than a partner and a mother to her children, but Mary knew that she had always enjoyed reading. Fern says that she thought she would try out writing and see if she could write a book. She had liked novels that involved mystery or romance.

She would go on to write many books and would also change up her agent and publishing company as well as her home, selling her Garden State house and trading it in for a home in South Carolina in the early nineties.

She did buy a new home and put quite some effort into remodeling it. The historic house is over three centuries old and she did her best to remodel it and is proud to say that these days it is a completely unrecognizable home compared to what it used to be. However, she does mention that there is a playful ghost that haunts the premises. Don’t just take her word for it– the former owners can attest to the fact that the female ghost is there and has a mischievous sense of humor.

She is the creator and the writer of the popular Texas series. The series kicked off in 1985 with the release of the debut novel in the series, Texas Rich. There are three more books in the series.
