Hi, I'm Carole Carson. I moved to France at 80 to re-invent myself once again—and to write novels!
Over the decades, I've played many roles: wife, mother, daughter, grandmother, educator, entrepreneur, community organizer, and survivor. But in my heart, I've always been a writer.
I've written over 800 articles that have appeared in newspapers and websites, including the Huffington Post, the American Association of Retired Persons website, The Nevada County Union, and the American Association of Retired Persons website. I've also written two non-fiction books.
At GMASBlog, you'll find posts on whatever catches my interest and content about my four-book fiction series.
Blackbird (the first novel), My Mother's Daughter (the second novel), and The Perfect Mother (the third novel) are available on Amazon and at bookstores. The fourth novel (The First and Last Lesson) will be published in spring 2024.
Together, the quartet represents my vitae opus.
I began writing Blackbird in 1966, the first in a four-book fictionalized memoir chronicling the life of Jane Bertram. Love, loss, abuse, abandonment, hope, seduction, and despair give color and texture to her story. Telling Jane’s story made me richer, freer, happier and more loving. May readers receive the same blessings. Additionally, book two, My Mother Daughter, and book three, The Perfect Mother, are now out.
