About Carol...
   I grew up in Piedmont North Carolina, the oldest of four children. My
love for reading came from my late mother. The courage to try new
things came from late my father.
I miss them every day.

 My love for reading started when I found some of my mother's war
romance novels. I feel right a home today when my husband and sons
watch WWII documentaries. After all, I learned first hand about the
women and men in uniform...and their pain.

Then I discovered Gone With The Wind and Emilie Loring romances.
I was lost in the world of the written word.

 As a teenager, I composed on-going sagas in my head and nurtured
a secret dream to become a writer while doing chores on the farm.
But my parents' firm guidance and the reality of needing a steady
income had me studying to become a teacher...which I loved.

 I retired, after teaching for thirty years, and returned to my dream of
becoming a published author. I study the craft of writing and work
toward my goal everyday.

 My husband and I have two adult sons, who can turn me to mush
when they say, “M-o-m".  Our first son loves technology and sports...
ice hockey, and anything UNC is playing. And he's given us a new
daughter-in-law so now I'm not so out-numbered.  Our youngest son
recently finished his Masters degree and is searching for a Ph.D.
program...anything snakes, bears...he loves.

 When I'm not reading...or writing, I enjoy making miniature quilts,
sewing, growing flowers and cooking.

 “Follow your dream!”
