Carol is a 74-year old retired social worker living in the foothills of West Virginia where she lives in a quiet, wooded community with her little shih tzus, Tobias Jones and Mollye. Carol is an avid quilter and reader. She particularly enjoys the relaxed, easy pace of a cozy. 'Tied Died: a quilting cozy' was her first novel. "I hope readers enjoy the Quilting Cozy series as much as I enjoy writing it," Carol said. "I'm always eager to see what Sarah and her cohorts will do next; it feels like the series is writing itself." The second book in the series, 'Running Stitches,' continues the escapades of Sarah, Sophie, and their friends, and features a young runaway who joins this delightful cast of characters. The third book, 'Sea Bound,' takes Sarah, Sophie, and Charles to the Islands on a quilting cruise where there are mysteries to be solved, a touch of romance, a gambling debt gone bad, a missing passenger, presumed dead, and lots of quilting. And then there are seven more!!
