When did S.E. Hinton die?

S.E. Hinton, which stands for Susan Eloise Hinton, is still alive today (January 2019). She was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1948. In high school in Tulsa, she believed that the literature for young adults did not reflect their reality, and she wrote a novel about the two rival gangs at her high school—the Greasers and the Socs. Her intent was to show sympathy for both gangs and to provide the point of view of the Greasers, who were less economically advantaged than the Socs. This novel, The Outsiders, was published in 1967. Her website (see below) explains that after her novel was published, she felt a great deal of pressure to be the voice of the younger generation. By writing a little bit each day, she was able to finish her next book: That Was Then, This Is Now. Her website lists nine books that she has written.
