About Carol

Carol Grace Culver was born with wanderlust. She was raised in Illinois, but longed to travel. She spent her junior year in college at the Sorbonne in Paris. Armed with a BA in French, she went to San Francisco to seek her fame and fortune. There she landed a job as switchboard operator and receptionist at KQED, the public TV station, where she met her future husband and did on-the-air promos in French for her idol, Julia Child, showing her parents that French was a useful major after all.

Restless after five years, she joined the hospital ship HOPE for three voyages - Guinea, Nicaragua, and Tunisia. After she married, she and her husband went to Algeria and Iran to work. They loved the excitement of living abroad, but returned to California to raise their two children in their mountain-top home overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Carol says that writing is another way of making life exciting.

Carol has published over 30 books for Harlequin/Silhouette over the past 18 years as well as two single titles for Pocket - THAT'S AMORE and AN ACCIDENTAL GREEK WEDDING. In December '07 Carol celebrated the release of her first Harlequin Mills & Boon Romance - THEIR GREEK ISLAND REUNION. Also released in December, her first Young Adult teen novel - MANDERLEY PREP, the first in the BFF series from Berkley (Penguin-Putnam).
