She has a large reference library with books on a wide range of subjects, everything from food and fashion to weapons and trade routes to religion and law. After leaving college in 1963 and until she became a full-time writer in 1970, she worked as a demographic cartographer, and still often drafts maps for her books, and occasionally for the books of other writers. By the mid-60s she had switched to writing stories and hasn't stopped yet. Her first professional writing - in 1961-2 - was as a playwright for a now long-defunct children's theater company.
