Carol was one of the first marriage celebrants appointed in Australia. Through her work she learned to develop the art of storytelling and used these skills to craft deeply rewarding, personalised marriage and funeral ceremonies for her clients.  She is a member of Katherine Susannah Prichard Writing Centre and has been a participant in ‘Write-a-book-in-a-day’ 2008 – 2024 and a regular contributor to KSP Anthologies 2009– 2022. Carol is passionate about her first novel: ‘Remembrance of Love and War’. The story reflects the life of her grandfather and covers the turbulent years of the First World War. A story of love, sacrifice and triumph, it encompasses the societal upheaval and endurance of families as well as the brutal realities of war.
Currently, she is planning a multi-media project set in Mandoon, during pre-colonial times. She is also working on collating an anthology of short stories she has written in the genre ‘Australian Gothic ‘. These stories are based on her personal work experience as an Outback Tour cook … ‘Yes, quite out of character, but I have splendid memories.’ Carol spent a couple of years in this role, travelling through the Kimberley, Northern Territory and along the Eyre Peninsular. During this time, she met many locals who were kind enough to share their stories and history of these remote locations. 
She is enthusiastic about promoting the value of storytelling, particularly in relation to each individual’s story and the importance of recording for the benefit of future generations. 
Carol facilitates a writing group at Guildford Library on alternative Monday mornings. She lives in Woodbridge, WA. Apart from her love of writing, she enjoys watercolour painting, volunteering for the National Trust, and researching local history, pre and post colonisation.
