I grew up as the daughter of an attorney who's speech was precise.  I remember his corrections as  I tried try to tell him something.  "What did you say?" he asked over and over again until I could say what I had to say correctly.  Though I didn't like it at the time, I learned to seek out the proper way to say something and this led to avid reading and writing.  Later,  I was busy with everyday life.  I was married and had three children, a set of twin boys and a girl.  I also worked as a secretary and I had to put my writing on hold.  I was 38 when I entered my first college classes and it took seven years of night school to earn my Associates Degree in Englished Lit..  I continued classes once I moved to Alabama, but, because of a physical problem, I was unable to continue.  This physical problem led to a below-knee amputation of my left leg.  My time of recuperation brought me closer to my writing goals. Currently, I am kept busy with a business I operate out of my home and my writing.  Sometimes, the only way I know my husband is alive and kicking is by the television blaring at my back.

My first book, "The Leaf," a novella, was published in March, 2010, by Publish America. My second book, "Love Your Enemy, came out in November, 2010, by Strategic Book Group. My autobiography, "Carol LaCroix's Story, was published by Publish America and came out in the spring of 2011 I'm currently working on my third noval, "Prison City," and hope to finish it by the end of this year or the first of next.
