Biography
Thing is, I make up stories. Yes, my mother always said to tell the truth. But, I have an excuse. Characters whisper their stories in my ear, now what else can I do but write them down and share? For the record, my mom listens to my stories, so I guess she's forgiven me for telling a tale or two.
Carol's a wife, mom and grandmother. She's won numerous awards and published in short stories and one novel, A Smoky Mountain Christmas. She lives in the sunny South with her husband who patiently awaits his time away from her writing. Carol has an amazing son, who is a remarkable writer, a wonderful daughter-in-law, and is blessed with two awesome grandchildren.
She loves a great story that makes her think about the problems life throws at us and how we react. She believes in happy endings and thinks they happen with commitment, understanding, forgiveness, love, laughter, giving, sacrifice, and being unafraid to expose one's inner self.
Humor is a big part of her daily routine, because if she can't laugh at herself, then she has a boring day. Yes, she laughs a lot!
