Hello! My name’s Carolyn, and I'm thrilled to have you here today! I’ve been writing and making stories in my head as early as I can remember, and it is my absolute joy to be able to keep up that habit! In third grade, I came home, set my lunchbox down, and told my mother I wanted to be a writer. Luckily, Mom was supportive. I’ve been a published author for a few years now, under different names and genres, but the thought of writing about a small coastal town in Oregon, and about its loves and mysteries, holidays, and people has been with me for years. I grew up in Oregon, and the coast is still one of my favorite places to be. In real life, I’m married with kids, have just moved to East Texas, so now I’m puzzling over what can grow in my garden here and how to cook grits! I’m a full-time author who loves to travel, and it’s not surprising that some of the settings in my books are places I’ve been able to visit.
