About Carol
I'm a writer and artist living in the mountains of California. I write YA (young adult) novels and am represented by Kelly Sonnack of the Andrea Brown Literary Agency.
Lately my artwork has involved designing blogsites that function as websites. My novels are a mix of fantasy, science fiction, and dystopian. My blog focuses on writing tips and giving short critiques.
