Background
Information
|
|
Reared in the beautiful county of Devon in England, Carole's earliest memory is of the Exeter blitz in 1942. In the 1960s and 70s she and her husband raised their family in Cornwall, England. They built their own boats and sailed the English Channel and around the Bay of Biscay. In 1981 the family migrated to Australia.
Carole began her writing in earnest in 1994 when she attended a creative writing course. The following year, Rawlhouse Publishing published her first book, a junior fiction called Gus, Sore Feet -- No Collar.
She's had articles published in wildlife magazines and in the glossy BirdKeeper. But now her passions have turned to Crime Fiction.
Her first novel FERRYMAN was shortlisted for the Dundee International Book Prize 2007. Set in Cornwall in the 1970s, her years of sailing experience have enriched the novel FERRYMAN with an authentic nautical flavour.
