Carolan Ivey is a North Carolina native living in northwest Ohio with her husband, two children, two highly opinionated dachshunds, and far too many books.

A technical writer by day, in her spare time she tries to indulge as many of her varied passions as possible - reading, traveling, finding new uses for her burgeoning lavender plants, singing with various classical choral groups, and exploring her Scottish roots through music. She is also a Karuna and Celtic Reiki Master.
