Katherine Alice Applegate is the credited author of the Animorphs, Remnants, and Everworld book series, although many of these books are ghostwritten by other authors. Applegate's most popular books are science fiction, fantasy and adventure novels. She also won the Best New Children's Book Series Award in 1997 in Publishers Weekly.
Applegate was born in Michigan in 1956. She currently lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. She has a son named Jake, although she says the Animorph leader isn't named after him. In 2003 she and her husband, Michael Reynolds, her co-author on many projects including Animorphs, adopted their daughter, Julia, in China. Following the end of Animorphs, Applegate took three years off. She is back at work and recently sold a picture book called "The Buffalo Storm," to Clarion, placed a middle reader novel called "The Stars Remain," (renamed "Home of the Brave") and an early chapters series "Time-Out Tales" with HarperCollins.
K. A. Applegate's Animorphs is a series of 54 science fiction books that were Applegate's first series. These 54 books were written from June 1996 to May 2001.
