The East End of London,UK, is Carol's backdrop to her gritty East End family dramas. She has been writing for Simon&Schuster for a decade and has a long-established presence on the internet. Her stories spring from the warm-hearted and resourceful people of the East End - the heart of London's docklands. Her writing is simple, but her rough-tough historical Cockney characters tell it like it truly is, giving a punch to the stomach and leaving the reader in no doubt that her heroines are a force to be reckoned with. Carol is well-known in the UK but is now building a steady readership in the States and welcomes feedback.
