If you want to find Glenda Carroll, she’ll be in, on, or underwater—and writing about it. She understands water sports on a very personal level since she swims, surfs, and sails.

Glenda was a long-time sports columnist for the Marin Independent Journal, focusing on sailboat racing. During that time, she also wrote for local, national, and international sailing publications. She branched into travel writing and her features have appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, Travel & Leisure, Sail, Ford Times, Yacht Racing, Chevron USA, Defenders of Wildlife, and Bay & Delta Yachtsman. PacificWaverider.com, a surfing website, asked her to write a twice-weekly column, which she did for more than three years.

She is the author of the Trisha Carson mysteries. They are set in the San Francisco Bay area, including Marin, the East Bay State Parks, and, of course, San Francisco.

Her books have a swimming undercurrent, based on her own experience. She has raced in more than 150 open water swim events in Northern California, as well as Hawaii and Perth, Australia.
