Caroline B. Cooney ist eine produktive amerikanische Autorin, die durch ihre Jugendromane verschiedener Genres wie Spannung, Romantik, Horror, Mystery, Fantasy und historische Fiktion bekannt ist. Cooney wurde mit einer Leidenschaft fürs Lesen geboren und verbrachte ihre Kindheit damit, The Hardy Boys und Cherry Ames-Romane zu lesen. Dieses frühe Interesse an Literatur inspirierte sie dazu, Schriftstellerin zu werden, wobei sie einen College-Abschluss ablehnte, um sich auf ihr Schreibhandwerk zu konzentrieren.
Cooneys Erfolg lässt sich auf ihr Verständnis dafür zurückführen, was Jugendliche anspricht. Sie hat Bücher in einer Vielzahl von Genres verfasst, von Spannung bis hin zu Mystery und Romantik. Ihre Fähigkeit, eine Verbindung zu ihrem Publikum herzustellen, resultiert aus ihren frühen Lehrerfahrungen und ihren Interaktionen mit jungen Menschen. Cooney hat oft erwähnt, dass ein Lehrer der sechsten Klasse, der sie zum Schreiben ermutigte, einen bedeutenden Einfluss auf ihre Schriftstellerkarriere hatte. Dieser Fokus des Lehrers auf das Schreiben inspirierte Cooney dazu, bereits in jungen Jahren zu schreiben, eine Leidenschaft, die sie niemals aufgab.
Mit ihren Kindern als erstem Ansporn begann Cooney, Geschichten für junge Menschen zu schreiben und veröffentlichte schließlich in Magazinen und wechselte zu Büchern. Spannungsromane sind ihre Favoriten, sowohl zum Lesen als auch zum Schreiben, da sie Action und Spannung garantieren. Um die Realitätsnähe in ihren Geschichten aufrechtzuerhalten, sucht Cooney aktiv nach Möglichkeiten, sich mit Teenagern zu beschäftigen, besucht zahlreiche Schulen und organisiert Plotting-Spiele, um Ideen für Geschichten zu generieren.
Cooney hat in ihrer Schriftstellerkarriere bemerkenswerten Erfolg erzielt, mit über 15.000.000 verkauften Exemplaren ihrer Bücher in verschiedenen Sprachen. Ihr bekanntestes Werk, der Jugendroman "The Face on the Milk Carton", hat sich über 3.000.000 Mal verkauft und wurde für das Fernsehen verfilmt. Obwohl sie in Greenwich, Connecticut, aufwuchs, lebt Cooney derzeit in South Carolina und genießt ihre Zeit mit ihren Enkelkindern, spielt Klavier, geht spazieren und widmet sich Hobbys wie Töpfern, Schmuckherstellung und Lesen.
