Carolyn attended South Suburban College in South Holland, IL. One of the classes she fell in love with was her creative writing class. Carolyn decided to enter two of her poems to be selected for the college literary magazine, The Scriblerian. One of her poems was selected and published; and, she later received an award of recognition for excellence on April 7, 1994, in the Performing Arts Center of the college.
Carolyn is a Lupus survivor. In January of 2003, her life with Lupus changed when her illness caused deformities within her fingers. Because of the severity of her illness and the pain she experienced, she had to stop working. In spite of her illness and all the hand surgeries she had to undergo, she was still determined to work toward making her dreams and goals of writing children's books into a reality.
Carolyn acknowledges that she cares deeply about the world's welfare-especially the care of children and seniors. Carolyn's desire to write children's books is an inspired way of planting seeds of love in young hearts. Hoping that the power of God's love will help transform their little hearts and restore goodwill into a world where love and respect for human life continues to diminish, more and more each day. Carolyn's inspiration and compassion for others was a result of God's love and her parent's legacy of love.
Carolyn has graciously entered the race of making a difference like so many others by looking for ways to help our world find the peace it so desperately needs. When Carolyn isn't writing, she spends her time balancing her spiritual life with her family life. She is a retired payroll/accounts payable manager and an active member of the Church of Christ, where she currently works as a coordinator for the church's food pantry. She feels it is a privilege and honor to serve others.
Carolyn and her husband Ross are the parents of five adult children and the proud grandparents of seven grandchildren.
It gives me great pleasure to introduce my first book: "Proud to Be Me."
Carolyn is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators, since 2011.weniger sehen
