Book description
Carol is an Oklahoma resident, with Native American heritage. She
attended Odessa College in Texas on a tennis scholarship, then graduated
from Oklahoma State University with a B. Sc. degree. She has earned
hours toward a masters at Southwestern University, Oklahoma. Before
making a full-time career of writing, Carol taught high school biology.
Carol began writing while her children were preschool age. She gave up
her teaching career to be a stay-at-home-mom on their isolated family
ranch. After reducing life to the simplest explanations to answer her
young children's questions, she decided to try her hand at writing to
see if she could still communicate intelligibly with adults. After two
years of keeping vampire hours to write after the children were tucked
in bed, her first book was published. She progressed to writing during
the day when her children were in school. During her 20-year career,
Carol has penned 73 books under five pseudonyms in several genres. In
her spare time and there hasn't been much of it because she never missed
her children's school activities or baseball and basketball games. Carol
likes to garden, do carpentry projects, and help her husband, Ed, with
farming chores on their 400-acre ranch. Over the years they have raised
cattle, wheat, sheep, pigs, chickens, rabbits, turkeys, and peacocks,
plus dozens of cats, dogs, and horses. The place is a zoo and that's the
way Carol likes it. Carol, formerly a nationally ranked tennis player in
high school and college, traded her racket for golf clubs. She's still
the outdoorsy type at heart, although writing has become one of her
greatest passions right behind her husband, children, and young
grandchildren. Carol is an Oklahoma resident, with Native American
