Carol J. Perry

1 series 4 books in order

Carol J. Perry knew as a child that she wanted to be a writer. A voracious reader, whose list for Santa consisted mostly of book titles, she never lost sight of that goal. While living in Florida, Carol was on assignment for Southern Travel Magazine, preparing an article on the world's tallest sand castle which was being built near her home. That combination of events inspired her first young adult novel, Sand Castle Summer. That book was soon followed by half a dozen more. Carol and her husband Dan live in the Tampa Bay area of Florida with two cats and a Black Lab. Visit her at caroljperry.com.
