Karen Cushman: Hello. My name is Karen Cushman. Cushman is actually my married name, and still, after 41 years, when I hear people say, "Mrs. Cushman," I turn and look around for my mother-in-law.
My maiden name was Lipski, a Polish name which was always mispronounced and misspelled, so when I started to write, I went with Cushman, but my father wrote in "Lipski" between the "Karen" and the "Cushman" on his copies of all my books.
