Shaaron Cosner was born February 10, 1940, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Roy F. and Louise Bigelow. March 3, 1962, she married Ron Cosner, a teacher. They have two children, Bob and Vikki. Cosner holds a bachelor's and a master's degree from Arizona State University. It was during a class on children's literature that Cosner's professor approached her about having one of her papers published. That was the first moment that she realized she could get paid to do what she loves, writing. During her career, Cosner has worked as a teaching assistant at Arizona State University and Corona del Sol High School. Besides being a writer of science-oriented topics, Cosner has also contributed over fifty articles to periodicals such as Arizona, Arizona Highways, and Americana. Among her many published books are: American Windmills: Harnessers of Energy , 1977; American Cowgirls: Yesterday and Today , 1978; and Masks Around the World and How to Make Them , 1979. Although Cosner enjoys writing about science, because it is what she knows best, she does hope to experiment with fiction in the future. Something About the Author, Vol. 43, pp. 68-69. The collection contains galleys, page proofs, photographs, and a few miscellaneous items for the title Masks Around the World and How to Make Them by Shaaron Cosner. The materials for this title are arranged in the probable order in which they were created.
