Carolyn Davidson

Carolyn Davidson began writing in 1986, knowing absolutely nothing about the craft. Her first three books were rejected by Harlequin.

She met Dixie Browning at a Harlequin dinner in Charleston, South Carolina, and told Dixie she was writing, but that she feared she was too old to begin such an undertaking. Dixie’s response spurred Carolyn to pursue her dream. Dixie said, in her own inimitable fashion, "Well, honey, you can’t start any younger!" And she was right.

Reading has always been Carolyn’s favorite thing to do. She loves the written word, ranging from her early loves, Louisa May Alcott and Zane Grey, to present-day writers.

And now, over the past several years, it’s been her turn to compose books that will bring pleasure to her readers. Perhaps she may even inspire a yearning in someone’s heart to join this parade of authors that stretches across the years.

Having spent her life as a wife, mother, grandmother, and working woman, she’s privileged to have a career that makes her dreams possible. Writing historical romance gives her the opportunity to travel, to visit all those places where our forefathers staked their claim on this country of ours. And then she goes home and writes their stories, maybe not exactly as they lived them, but as her imagination portrays them.

Carolyn lives in the South, where romance thrives, and where the sun shines almost every day of the year. In fact, some days it is difficult to stay glued to her computer, especially when the birds are singing and the flowers are in full bloom.

She lives not far from the ocean, close to Charleston, South Carolina, one of the most romantic cities in the world. Moreover, time at the beach is easy to come by. Does she enjoy her life? You bet! Harlequin allows her to write the books she loves, and her editor is patient with her quirks and foibles. Her family, though scattered in various states, is supportive, and her husband is a constant source of inspiration.

No matter how busy she is, Carolyn always takes time to answer her mail. You can reach her at P.O. Box 2757, Goose Creek, SC 29445.
