Carol Edwards

Carol is a northern California native transplanted to southern Arizona. She lives and works in relative seclusion with her books, plants, and pets (2 dogs, 5 cats, + husband). She grew up reading fantasy and classic novels, climbing trees, and acquiring frequent grass stains. She currently enjoys a coffee addiction and raising her succulent army. Her chosen superpowers would be to heal and to fly.

Her debut poetry collection, The World Eats Love, released April 25, 2023 from The Ravens Quoth Press, available on Amazon and BN.
