Her first book, Times of My Life: A Forest Gate Girl, about her fascinating family, early life in East London, and growing up in the sixties, was published by Austin Macauley Publishers in 2021. It was written for her first granddaughter to share the memories of that very special time up until her wedding in 1971. The book has been so well received all over the world that she started this second part to complete the memoir up to the present day – Times of My Life – Part Two. This was during the Covid-19 pandemic and several lockdowns and helped to occupy and sustain her during difficult days. The book covers five decades of recent history and so much has happened in this one lifetime. Writing has opened up a whole new world to her in retirement and she writes whenever she can, short stories and poetry, as well as children’s books and has started, most recently, her first novel.
Carole has been married to Chris for over 50 years and has three children and four wonderful grandchildren. She loves quizzes, travel, gardening, music and theatre and reading as well as writing.lihat lebih sedikit
