  Carol Nemeth has always loved reading and enjoyed making up stories since junior high school, most based in the places she has lived. She served in the US Army where she was stationed in Italy and traveled to over thirteen countries. After marrying the love of her life, who she met while stationed in Italy, they lived in a lot of places, including North Yorkshire, England. They now live in West Virginia, where, in her spare time, Carol enjoys sewing stuffed animals for the local ambulances to give to sick and injured children that they respond to calls for and baby blankets for the Local Birthright organization, a Pro-Life group that provides help to young pregnant women. Carol and her husband are active in their church and enjoy their two grown children, son-in-law and two grandchildren. A third is expected soon and Carol looks forward to spoiling that one, too. www.facebook.com/J.CarolNemeth/
