edit data

Carmen Peone is an award-winning author of Young Adult and Contemporary Romance and has lived in Northeast Washington and on the Colville Confederated Indian Reservation.

She had worked with a Tribal Elder, Marguerite Ensminger, for three years learning the Arrow Lakes Language and various cultural traditions, which led to her writing career.

With a degree in abnormal psychology, the thought of writing never entered her mind, until she married her husband and they moved to the reservation after college.

With the love of history and the western woman's lifestyle, she weaves threads of hope, family, relationships, and faith into her stories.
