About the Author:

Born into a Mennonite family, Carrie spent her childhood in a small farming

community in southern Manitoba.

Carrie's interest in the arts began as a young girl. An imaginative child,

she loved to draw, read, write, and listen to stories. Their school library

consisted of a mere three short shelves of books, not nearly enough to

satisfy her need for creative reading and storytelling.

After school, Carrie would often run home to sit down beside their

old-fashioned console radio and listen to Aunt Ollie - a half-hour program

where Aunt Ollie read fables, mysteries, and other delightful tales.

Carrie's passion for storytelling and a desire to create continued after

marriage and children. She took several writing courses as well as pursuing

painting, drawing, and filmmaking.

She writes for adults and children, fantasy and adventure being her

favorite.
