Autorenporträt
Estelle Gibson grew up in the San Diego County, California mountain town of Julian, and in the desert town of Brawley, in Imperial County. She got to know her future husband, Ron Lauer, at summer dances in Julian when she was a teenager. From 1950 to 1954 Estelle attended College of the Pacific, while her future husband finished his enlistment in the Marine Corps. Estelle became an elementary school teacher. After they married, they traveled extensively in Europe, and then returned to the San Diego area. Ron began his first teaching job, and they started a family and raised their three children. Following a hiatus in her teaching career, Estelle returned to it in 1980, this time as a teacher of English as a Second Language. Upon their retirement in 1995, Estelle and Ron began traveling again, and Estelle also turned to writing.
