Hello, dear reader friends! Due to the current restrictions on Pennsylvania libraries, I will be having a launch party for Gretchen and the Bear on Facebook on June 19 at 7 pm. Bad news--no cupcakes and book signing. Good n ews--you can attend from Timbuktu or Gobblers Knob or wherever you call home, and we will still have great fun! To RSVP, click here.  We will have giveaways, Q&A, a reading, and more. Lisa from Havok (flash fiction e-zine), fantasy author Kristin J. Dawson,  and author and improv queen Joanne Brokaw will be helping me host the extravaganza.  Please come and join me (and pray for no technical difficulties on my end, since I live in  a mountainy, bad internet area). Hope to "see" you soon! Keep reading! Carrie

Warm greetings from the frosty mountains of Pennsylvania! I have BIG NEWS! Ready?  My YA fantasy (with a dash of science fiction) Gretchen and the Bear will be published May 27, 2020 by the lovely folks at WordCrafts Press! Super bonus excitment--the talented M.S.Corley, who created the covers for The Mermaid's Sister and The Gold-Son, is on board to design the cover for GATB. Here's a sneak peek at the story: Visiting dangerous Faerie-infested Britannia is the last thing sixteen-year-old Gretchen wants to do when she finally trades life on a dreary orbiting station for life on the verdant regenerated Earth. After all, no human who’s dared to visit the Faeries’ land has ever returned. But when her stepsister sneaks off to meet a Faerie boyfriend, Gretchen’s stepmother forces her to choose: risk death to rescue the runaway, or forfeit her father’s life. Lost deep in the Faeries’ forest, Gretchen meets three Bearfolk—Fae who can shift from humans to bears. Kindh...

Book News & Book Fest Hello, all!   Thanks for stopping by!  I've been working very hard all summer (and early fall) to finish my newest story, and the exciting news is that I'm only a chapter or two from typing THE END.  I've enjoyed writing this one very much, and look forward to sharing it with you soon. Hint: It contains elements of The Three Bears and Cinderella, and it's set in the future.    If you're a Pennsylvania person, you might want to visit me at the Wellsboro BookFest on October 13. Wellsboro (which ranks in the Best Small Towns to See Fall Foliage ) is home to the famous Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, so you could take a hike to enjoy nature's glories after doing your book shopping. By the way, if you're an Amazon Prime member, The Gold-Son is currently included in the Prime Reading Program, so you can read all about my clever but nasty Leprechauns for free. Be sure to leave a review if you do. Reviews are the...
