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 First and Last Lesson (the fourth novel) was published in fall 2024.

Together, this collection represents my vitae opus.
