Carol Oates came into the world on Christmas morning, in an elevator. Raised just across the street from the childhood home of Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, it was only a matter of time before Carol’s love of all things supernatural would emerge.
She began experimenting with fiction at school and keeps the notebook containing her first unpublished novel in her desk drawer. Over three decades later, all her stories still begin life scrawled on paper.
When not writing, Carol can be found exploring history, old buildings, castles, and tombs.

Time for Titanic


It's less than a day until I head off to Belfast for the Titanic Signing event. I can't wait to meet the amazing authors who will be attending.

I will be bringing along copies of all my books, bookmarks, postcards, and some goodies for readers who stop by my table.


Yep, I will be bringing along a whole lot of soap, some with scents inspired by my books. Everything from chocolate, the eye Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Carol Oates  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Deep down under where his heart resided, strangled up in thorny vines of guilt, anger, fear and longing, there lay something deeper in him, something that he couldn’t see but she could.”
Carol Oates, Ember

“A broken heart is something even I can’t protect you from. I’ve been alone for so long, and believe me, all that does is provide a false sense of security. Being alone doesn’t erase the deep yearning that exists in all of us. We are not solitary creatures. You have to love and open your heart. If not, what is it we are trying to save? When it swallows you whole, remember it means you’ve lived.”
Carol Oates, Iridescent

“Love is just like the flower; it has hidden depths that we rarely ever explore. Beneath the surface lies a network of roots. You can admire the flower for what it is, or you can dig deeper. The more you dig, the more you will find. The real reasons we love a person sometimes exist in the darkest and deepest part of us, the part that knows no logic…or rationale.”
Carol Oates, Iridescent
