Carolyn Wood, born and raised in Portland, Oregon, still lives in her family home. She is a retired English teacher who spent over thirty years encouraging students to write and is now taking her own advice, although often she'd rather be practicing yoga, or outdoors tending her bees and garden, or hiking back roads and mountain trails. Ms. Wood's work has appeared in Teachers as Writers and Elohi Gadugi Journal. This is her first book.
