Carrie has been writing and reading since she could put sentences together, but life often stood in the way of completing her own stories. Thanks to her “big kid job,” she’s finally able to start writing about characters that are flawed, yet strong. Carrie lives in Nebraska with her partner in their “puppy palace” (yes, the dogs are in charge; humans are just there to feed them and rub their bellies) and continues to write romance between crochet and knitting projects.
