About Carol
Again, more than just wine
My personal and professional travels have taken me from the Pacific Ocean’s floor in a submersible called Alvin to the top the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. I’ve trekked through rice paddies in Indonesia, SCUBAed for underwater treasures in Eastern Europe, had tea in the Sahara and visited a thousand places in between. I love seeing the world, but more than that, I love to hear stories of the fascinating people and creatures in it.
My writing has appeared in Reader’s Digest, where I was the National Affairs Reporter, The Washington Post, the New York Times, Arlington magazine, AARP Bulletin, Trust, George, and in the anthology A Woman’s Europe. I’ve written three NYT bestsellers: Safari, Ocean, and Polar, a regional bestseller 97 Ways to Make a Cat Like You, and a self-published book Mama Tricks.
These days, I have many jobs. I’m studying for my Diploma with the Wine & Spirits Education Trust at the London School and am a full-time writer with an office in Washington, D.C. that I rarely see; a full-time mother of two teens and three rescue cats. I also try to be a friend who listens and a wife who still dates her husband, not to mention a neighbor who prioritizes getting together with the folks down the street and sharing a nice Chardonnay.
