At 11, she competed against 10 to 16-year-olds in a story contest and won first place. Dorothy studied painting and illustrating at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts where she won the Chesson Traveling Scholarship Award. Dorothy worked as an art teacher and telephone operator before becoming an author. She wrote children stories for more than ten years and then began writing adult novels about Mrs. Pollifax-a retired grandmother who becomes a CIA agent. The Mrs. Pollifax series made Dorothy famous. While her stories nourish people's thirst for adventure and mystery, Dorothy knows about nourishing the body as well. She has lived on a farm in Nova Scotia, where she grew medicinal herbs. Her knowledge of herbs comes through in many of her stories, including A Nun in the Closet, in which a nun treats a man's wounds with the herbs growing nearby. Many of Dorothy's books, including Caravan, feature strong women having adventures around the world.
