Carrie is the author of Kitty and the Midnight Hour, the forthcoming Kitty Goes to Washington, and many short stories found in Weird Tales, Realms of Fantasy, Talebones, and others. She credits her parents for her writing. "My mother gave me Heinlein's Red Planet when I was eight. Shortly thereafter my father sat me down to watch 2001. My brain just hasn't been the same [since]."
