Author Biography
Carrie's interest in the arts began as a young girl. An imaginative child, she loved to draw, read, write and listen to stories. Their three-room school library consisted of a mere three short shelves of books, not nearly enough to satisfy her need for creative reading and storytelling. After school Carrie would often run home to sit down beside their old-fashioned, console radio and listen to Aunt Ollie; a half-hour program where Aunt Ollie read fables, mysteries and other delightful tales. Carrie's passion for storytelling and desire to create continued after marriage and children. She took several writing courses as well as pursuing painting, drawing and filmmaking. Her love and passion for Jesus is evident in all her artistic endeavors. She writes for adults and children, fantasy and adventure being her favorite. Carrie has a M.Min (Professional Writer) and D.Min (Fine Arts and Media).
