.Carole has completed master’s classes in nonfiction writing at Gotham Writer's Workshop and Writing the Medical Experience at Sarah Lawrence College. But her first love is writing science fiction and fantasy because walking through walls is a lot less painful than banging into them. She has studied speculative fiction writing through the master class level with Gotham Writer's Workshop faculty Michaela Roessner and Marta Randall, Michael Neff of Algonkian Writer's Workshop, and the paranormal/urban fantasy/romantic sub genres with Mary Buckham, Sherry Lewis, Jeanne Stein, and Margie Lawson.
She is a staff reviewer for The Fix, Tangent Online, and a regular contributor to the Internet Review of Science Fiction. A complete list of her published works, with links when available, can be found under Publications.
