My first published book, Raising Abel, is the true story of raising my son, who I adopted out of foster care. To protect his privacy, I took the pen name Carolyn Nash. I have kept the name for my fiction because I've found I rather like staying in the background.Each time someone reads one of my books, it seems like a small miracle. I've written stories for years, never truly believing that they would be read by anyone but family or friends. It's truly an honor when someone chooses one of these books with the name Carolyn Nash on the cover. Thank you, all of you who have, and know that I appreciate it more than I can say.
