In 1955, after a distinguished career as an educator, Edith McCall moved to the Ozarks to pursue her lifetime dream of writing full-time. The award-winning author of 50 books, and coauthor of 30, she was a trailblazer in writing interesting textbooks and entertaining novels in controlled vocabulary for readers with learning disabilities.
McCall's broad interests are reflected in her popular local lectures and her many articles for adults, which have been published in anthologies and a wide range of newspapers and national magazines, including American Heritage, The Instructor, American History, and the Kansas City Times. A four-time winner of the Missouri Writers' Guild Book Award, McCall was also named a Distinguished Alumnus by the University of Wisconsin in 1988 in recognition of her contributions to education and her body of work. In 1996 she was inducted into the Writers Hall of Fame.
McCall has two daughters, five grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. When she isn't traveling, she can be found at home in Hollister, Missouri, working at her computer on her next writing project, or relaxing with her gardening, woodcarving, birdwatching ... or a good book.
