edit data

With a sword swallower as a father and a repentant chanteuse for a mother, it's no wonder Carolyn Burns Bass became a writer.

Carolyn has written nonfiction for magazines for more years than she cares to admit. She has published short fiction in several literary journals. Her short story "Sketches Past and Present" was a finalist for the Eric Hoffer prize for fiction and is featured in the 2013 Best New Writing anthology published by Hopewell.

The Bronte sisters have always fascinated Carolyn. When Blue River Press asked if she would be interested in writing a middle grade biography of the famous literary sisters, she jumped on it. ALL ABOUT THE BRONTE SISTERS will be available at bookstores and online book sites beginning November 2, 2020.

Carolyn Bass liked an answer about The Taste of Ginger: Just finished reading THE TASTE OF GINGER and wondering if I missed the reason why Preeti's family moved to the USA.

The way I took it, the mother had a previous engagement that fell through and there was a bit of a stigma regarding it.
