Biography

I am originally from Pittsburgh, but I now reside in Florida, with my two cats. My first attempt at writing was when I wrote a tribute to my Black Lab after he passed away. That short story appeared in a veterinarian's magazine and now appears in a paperback collection of short stories, "Forever Families" edited by Shelagh Watkins. After earning a couple of college degrees, I started writing for fun, and as a hobby. I completed my first novel "Perfect" in 2007. I entered the book in a contest and it received an honorable mention. In addition to that, I received a lot of great feedback on that first attempt, so I decided to try another. That led to my second book "Choices" and then came "The Bushes are Red" and "The Full Nelson"--a trilogy that is turning into a series, because readers didn't want me to stop there. Another book, in that series ("Consequences") was released in April, 2013. In December, 2011, "Kisses from the Heart" was published--all new characters. "Maddie's Garden" (2011) is another new story with all fresh new characters. "Second Chances" came out in 2012, and "Going Home" came out later that same year. There are many more to come. I love writing and will continue to write every day. Please email me! I answer all emails as soon as I can. carolencats@yahoo.com.

Smashwords Interview

What motivated you to become an indie author?
Well, I always wanted to be a writer, but I just wasn't sure if I was good enough. My first book, published by a vanity press, won an award, which encouraged me to continue writing. Everyone who read "Perfect," my first book, loved it, but apparently getting an agent to represent me was something close to impossible. People who read my books encouraged me to self-publish, and when I discovered how easy it was to self-publish, I gladly adopted the title, "Indy Author."
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
The greatest joy? Seeing my book in print, of course. Just like a mother who carries a child for nine months, puts up with the difficulties of pregnancy, the end result is something to show off, shout it out, and yes, send out announcements of the new baby. (or book).
