Carol Marlene Smith

Carol Marlene Smith was born in Springhill, Nova Scotia on a hot August day. From an early age, writing, drawing and singing were her favourite things to do. Carol was a loner who liked to imagine her friends rather than make real ones.

Today Carol spends her time writing novels and short stories and painting animals. Some of her novels are Heart of Winter, Angel's Blessing, and Heart of the Story, all set in Nova Scotia. Carol enjoys writing poetry, romance, mystery/suspense and mainstream.

Carol lives in the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia.

• A Bride for Tom on June 20, 2011
  
  I am enjoying this book. Tom is such a loveable character, no wonder Jessica has a soft spot for him. All the characters are truly well done. I also love the humour throughout. It's a great read so far, up there for four stars from me.
  
• Sam's Dream on June 30, 2011
  
  I liked this little story. I think it had a good meaning, like the little engine that could. It was funny in parts, I could picture all the people flying around, acting silly yet happy. Good work.
  
• My Stay In The Jerome Grand Hotel on July 25, 2011
  
  One thing I can say about this short story is that it kept me reading right to the end, wondering what was going to happen. I can't say that I really did understand what had happened or what was written on the locket. Sort of left me in midstream. However, except for the formatting (could have been more paragraphs) I thought this was a good story.
  
• Smashwords Style Guide on Aug. 09, 2011
  
  When I read the word formatting I thought oh oh, how difficult is this going to be. But hey, it was not difficult at all. I did my first novel and followed the guidlines which are sharp and easy to understand. After that the rest I just formatted the same way. Mine were simple text but I am sure if I should wish to do something more elaborate that the rest of the guide would lead me through that as easily as before. Thanks Mark and team, you know how to do it!
  
• If I Had A Car on Aug. 11, 2011
  
  I really enjoyed this little story and the pictures. It is an adult dilemma but is written with humour so kids will get a kick out of it and the illustrations as well. I can see kids from two up enjoying this book. Kudos to the author. Bright and fun book.
  
• A Farmer's Goodbye on Oct. 05, 2011
  
  From the description I eagerly looked forward to reading this short story. From the beginning I enjoyed the way it was written, the man and the old dog. I assumed I knew where the woman had gone. I felt sorry for the man. I walked with him in the fields and watched the corn grow, then I returned to the house with him. That is where things went wrong. I knew what was up and I didn’t like it, but I figured this was his way of dealing. But then I reached the end and have to say that I was disappointed because it seemed to end without being finished. It was too abrupt. So a better, more finished ending would have been what I would have hoped for so I could have left the story satisfied that he did what he needed to do. For this reason I can only give this story three stars…I would have liked to have given it more.
  
• Power Failure on July 18, 2012
  
  I really enjoyed reading this short story. There is so much in it that is true to life. The feelings the ones on the outside get when visiting those that are inside and will never get out again. It is a short story about feelings and I applaud the author for the way she has brought it all about. Thank you.
