She returned to Pennsylvania in 2004 and published her first novel, The Dust of 100 Dogs, in 2009, after fifteen years of writing.

Her short fiction for adults has been widely published and nominated for Best New American Voices.

Ask the Passengers

Ask the Passengers is a Junior Library Guild book. The book was named one of the best young adult books of the year by Kirkus Reviews and Publishers Weekly. Andrew Harwell of HarperCollins Children’s Books also favorited Ask the Passengers for 2013, stating,

To my mind, King falls in a camp with George Saunders as a writer who flouts conventions of genre and structure out of a sense that the world is full of meaning, but it is also totally crazy. King’s books repeatedly stretch the boundaries of YA fiction, and are always grounded by their unflinching looks at real, imperfect families. So while I would be hard-pressed to say which of her books was my favorite read in 2013, it would definitely be one of them, and I think that says it all.
