Meet Carol

Award-Winning Author, Amateur Historian, Traveler, and Celtic Enthusiast

History permeates almost everything Carol enjoys, whether it is travel or volunteer work. Just ask her family! She loves being outdoors, whether it is hiking, kayaking, or gardening, especially learning about the culinary and medicinal uses of plants from the past.

Over the years, Carol has put her passion for history to good use, whether she was on an archaeological dig or volunteering as an interpreter. Her interests span a wide range of periods, from the Iron Age to the Middle Ages to the Revolutionary War. Carol believes we can learn a lot from the past and insists that history can be fun!

Carol and her husband, Dave, recently returned to the U. S. after 13 years in Europe, living in Italy, Greece, and Germany. Relaxing after visiting over thirty countries and forty-four states, Carol and Dave retired to the foothills of western Virginia along with their two cats and Widgit, the History Hound, who joins them on their escapades.
