won many poetry awards, along with being published in Eber and Wein, Where The Mind Dwells book. Most

Carol comes from Michigan, but after one too many encounters with icy highways, moved to Tucson. After 20
years working as a lawyer, she is now desperately trying to make up for lost time. Her first attempts at writing
stories demonstrated her dire need for help and she has been taking writing classes at Pima College ever since.
Carol hopes that being part of a great literary magazine like SandScript indicates she is making progress. Carol
thanks all the writing teachers at Pima as well as John-her husband, Mochi-the cat, and especially her children
and grandchildren for all their help and support.
