Born in 1964, Carol grew up in San Antonio, Texas. An avid reader at a young age, her strong desire to write came from her love of (her husband calls it her obsession with) Star Trek. It was this early love of Trek that led her to the Science Fiction and Fantasy genres.

Carol’s family includes her husband Tim; their son John; and her four-footed canine companion - Ijs Beer. While the rest of the family manages to tolerate her imaginary friends and worlds, Carol’s attitude is “I live in my own little world; but it’s okay -- they know me there.

She has published several SF/F short stories and poems over the past few years. To learn more about Carol's writing you can visit her website: Realms of Imagination at www.carolhightshoe.com.
