Carol Parsons

Picture
Author bios are kind of like voicemail; necessary, but boring. The short version is Carol Parsons lives in rural Texas when she’s not traveling to points unknown—either literally or in her imagination. She’s married with children and grandchildren, loves campy sci fi shows and anime, and would rather be parasailing than cleaning house. With over 30 years in the writing business, she now teaches high school students when she isn’t plotting against her characters. She loves hearing from readers, so drop her a line (tamrionbooks@yahoo.com), chat with her on Twitter (https://twitter.com/CarolJParsons), or visit her blogsite Through Alien Eyes (https://cjparsons.wordpress.com).
