Carolyn Brown AwardsĬarolyn has received National Readers Choice, Montlake Diamond, and Bookseller’s Best Awards. She has three children and over a dozen grandchildren, not to mention great-grandchildren. While she makes notes in notebooks, Carolyn uses a computer to write her manuscripts. She uses a desk that her husband built.ĭespite her best efforts, she can never keep her workspace tidy. She does most of her writing in an office in her home. It was the big break the author had hoped for and it paved the way for a long and successful career.īecause her publishing career started so late, Carolyn found that she had a lot more time to dedicate to her craft. It was quite a surprise when an editor finally called and revealed that she wanted to buy the author’s books. In fact, Carolyn Brown spent twenty-five years trying and failing to get her foot through the publishing door. Unfortunately, she couldn’t find a publisher to buy it. Before long, she had a story on her hands. Rather than grumbling about the challenge, she used the peace and quiet to jot her ideas down in a notebook. On occasion, Carolyne would stay up all night. The child destroyed the author’s routine. While she had experimented with fiction, it wasn’t until her third child came along that she started writing seriously. Carolyn was 49 when she entered the publishing industry. The author’s success can be imputed to her worldly experience. She wants to move her readers, to immerse them in the same emotions driving her heroes and heroines. Carolyn endeavors to explore the different facets of the human experience, incorporating hate, laughter, anger, and every other emotion that defines human beings into her novels. The author’s books are not quite as straightforward as people think. Settings and plots might change but love is always the same, and this is true for the reaction it elicits from people. She expects her ideas to resonate with readers from all backgrounds because she is convinced that love never changes. She believes that life revolves around emotions and relationships and she uses her stories to explore the themes. As a budding author, Carolyn was drawn to romance. Once she learned to write, she started practicing the habit as well. Once she realized that she could finally understand words and letters, the author started reading everything she could get her hands on, not just books but the words on the back of Cheerio boxes. She was just five when she sparked an obsession with the written word. Reading entered the author’s life at an early age. She was just one of many strong women that Carolyn was fortunate enough to know. But she was quite close to her full-blooded sister. Carolyn wasn’t fortunate enough to meet her half-sister before she died. Carolyn’s biological father had more than one family.
