King has a BA in comparative religion, an MA in Old Testament Theology, and an honorary doctorate from the Church Divinity School of the Pacific. While her education might indicate a conservative view, her novels reflect a warm open-minded acceptance of diverse beliefs. She has traveled to exotic places rarely visited by Americans, and her contacts with those whose lives are so different from hers have undoubtedly helped shape her opinions.
King was born in northern California. She now lives in the Monterrey,
California area.
