Carol lives on a small property in Queensland, Australia. She works in a local primary school as a School Officer / Librarian / Community Development Officer. She has travelled extensively throughout the world, visiting the US, UK, Ireland, Europe, Thailand, China, Japan, New Zealand and of course, Australia. Her other passion is music. She plays bass guitar in a country rock band with her husband and two other guys, and is also a member of a symphony orchestra. The orchestra is voluntary and visits retirement villages and small towns. Her love of writing began when she was inspired to create her own heroine, someone able to look after herself and someone readers could cheer on.
