Carol Shuman

Carol Shuman has long held an advocacy platform, beginning with her ten-year career as a newspaper reporter and editor in the U.S., during the volatile 1960s and 70s, cited by the Associated Press for enterprise reporting.

She holds a Ph.D. in psychology, and has worked with the U.S. Navy, supervising addictions and family service programs. She writes, researches, and advocates for human rights while investigating cross cultural and individual psycho-social issues. She was born in Canada, spent most of her life in the U.S., and moved to Bermuda in 1990 with her husband, Gary.

Along with her professional writing that has encompassed more than forty years, Shuman has published a book for children to deal with the events of September eleventh and other catastrophes: Jenny Is Scared: When Sad Things Happen in the World. Used by professionals and parents internationally, this work also has been published in Japanese and Korean.

Her latest work, Kill Me Once...Kill Me Twice: Murder on the Queen's Playground, the story of the horrific murder case of teenage tourist Rebecca Middleton in Bermuda, is her first adult non-fiction book.
