My introduction to Carole came in the Blogger.com world in
2010. Blogging was new to me and Carole
Anne Carr’s excellent writing showed me what blogging could open up.
Carole has so many credentials:
I have
worked in a bank in Central Africa, have been a teacher,
held the Office of
Reader in the Church of England,
been a professional actress and sold my papier-mâché
sculptures in Europe.
I now work as a poet
and writer of children’s adventure stories that are historically accurate and
are used by teachers in schools and universities, in many parts of the world….
Carole Anne Carr has published (so far) eight books:
First Wolf,
Candle Dark,
First
Work,
Little-Boy-Good-For-Nothing,
Thin Time,
River Dark,
Kaleidoscope
, and The Angry Giant. All excellent books, I can say from my reading.
Carole Anne Carr shares her love for books by donating her time frequently to reading aloud to school children. This may be her greatest love of all.
C is for Carole Anne Carr.

DeleteThank you so much for including me in your A to Z Challenge, Susan. It is an honour, and it encourages me to keep writing, something I need now that I am my husband's carer. It means so very much to me.
ReplyDeleteWhen I thought about "C", your name was the first and only choice.
DeleteAs a kid I always loved stories set in times past. I loved seeing history, as I knew it, unfold through the characters life. It gave a history life. Writing that way is a gift.
ReplyDeleteYay for Carole! Sounds like she's had a fascinating life. I enjoyed this.
