Biography
My first writing adventure is the Silver Series. It is three books following the life and times of Diana, a reincarnated warrior who fights against demons trying to destroy the world and who manages to fall in love with one a few times. The first book in the series is Silver Knight, which is free to download from Smashwords as an epub. To get a mobi or pdf version of Silver Knight for free go to my website: http://www.caronrider.com
Initially I started teaching computer software, hardware, and networking in the 1990s. After some years that morphed into tutoring high school dropouts for the GED. I found working with at-risk teenagers so rewarding that I changed my undergraduate major to Education. Upon graduating from the University of South Alabama with a B.S., I began teaching high school history. History doesn't have to be boring and I tend to tuck fun and interesting information into my stories. I now live in rural Missouri with my two kids, two dogs, two cats, and several chickens.

This volume is a short collection of eclectic poems and limericks for the young at heart. Inspiration was a wild wind that blew the author hither and yon to write about love, cats, parents, pirates, magic, and much, much more (often with tongue in cheek).

The Bridge of Dead Things
on March 08, 2016
This was a really nice read. I hesitated when I realized the protagonist was 13 but after checking out the sample, was interested enough to buy. It was interesting with a fresh plot, just enough historical detail, and with a satisfying ending. I understand there's a sequel but this book felt fully formed and ended well.
