Carly Schabowski

Carly is the USA Today bestseller of historical fiction novels The Ringmaster's Daughter, The Watchmaker of Dachau, The Rainbow, The Note, All the Courage We Have Found, The Secret She Kept, The Postcard, The Winter Child, The Girl with the Red Ribbon, The Last Orphan, and the novella, It is something to have been.

Her interest in WWII history spans from a familial connection, and inspired her to complete a PhD regarding the author's responsibility to historical fiction. Whilst an achievement, she gained 20 lbs, and became a hermit. 

She lives in a tiny cottage in Oxfordshire, with barely enough room to swing a cat. Yet, she has managed to dwell in such a hobbit-type abode for some years with her two dogs, who keep her company as she reads, writes, eats chips, and drinks the occasional gin.

She is also a lecturer of Creative Writing for undergraduate and postgraduate students at Oxford Brookes University.
