About Her Books:
The Hunger Games was partly inspired by the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. Another inspiration was her father's career in the Air Force, which allowed her to have better understanding of poverty, starvation, and the effects of war. The trilogy's second book, Catching Fire, was released in September 2009, and its third book, Mocking jay, was released on August 24, 2010. Within 14 months, 1.5 million copies of the first two Hunger Games, books were printed in North America alone.
