USA Today Bestselling Author Carrie Pulkinen has always been fascinated with things that go bump in the night. Of course, when you grow up next door to a cemetery, the dead (and the undead) are hard to ignore. Pair that with her passion for writing and her love of a good happily-ever-after, and becoming a paranormal romance author seems like the only logical career choice. 

Before she decided to turn her love of the written word into a career, Carrie spent the first part of her professional life as a high school journalism and yearbook teacher. She loves red wine and chocolate, and in her free time, she likes to read, take pictures, and spend time with her family.

“One of these days, you’re going to meet someone who’s impervious to your magical man-taming powers, and he’s not going to drop everything to be at your beck and call.” She laughed. “That’s the man you’re going to marry.”
Carrie Pulkinen, License to Bite

“We’re fine, and we can take care of ourselves. You raised a fighter, not a victim.”
Carrie Pulkinen, License to Bite

“But real emotional connections between people happen because of actions. You can’t change the past, but you can decide, right now, to change your future.”
Carrie Pulkinen, License to Bite
