He loved the outdoors and he loved the wild. One of his greatest thrills in life was running in the Iditarod dogsled race in Alaska. In 1983, Gary spent 17 days on the Alaskan trail. He kept a journal and took photos. Later on, he based many books on his experiences. Though today, Gary is a very successful writer, he was not always able to make a living this way. For many years he struggled to get by on very little money. One time, a publisher failed to pay him for his work. After the publication of his book Winterkill, Gary was sued for libel by a man who claimed that Gary's book was about him. Even though a judge later dismissed the case against him, Gary spent all he had on attorney's fees. Finally, in 1988, the publication of his book Hatchet made Gary Paulsen famous. It was named a Newbery Honor Book. A prolific writer, Gary continues even into his sixties to thrill children with his adventure stories. |
