With wonder,

I'm Carrie

I write stories. I raise daughters. And I’m learning—again—to wonder.

Recently, my daughter and I read The Secret Garden, and it ushered me into a quiet renaissance of my own. I’m rediscovering simple wonder: the grit of soil in my palm, the sharp-green scent of wind-stirred leaves, the soft flicker of the candle at my desk, the chorus of my children’s laughter and whispered secrets. I’m slowing down in all the ways that matter, so I can better notice what actually matters.

This season of awakening breathes through everything I write.

My work grows from a deep belief that words can rouse what’s dormant in us. The most powerful stories don’t explain life—they make us feel it again. They coax us to notice what we’ve stopped seeing, to question what we’ve accepted as ordinary, to look twice at a world we thought we already knew.

Whether I’m crafting tales that spark young imaginations or weaving ancient truths into modern allegory, I’m chasing the same moment: when a reader pauses, breathes deeper, and sees with cleared eyes. When words don’t just inform—they transform. When stories don’t just entertain—they awaken.

From my micro-homestead in Northwest Montana, I write across genres, but each story shares a single thread: an invitation back to wonder. When I’m not chasing sentences, I’m chasing chickens, reading aloud with my daughters, or hiking mountain trails where the best ideas arrive in silence—and where I’m learning, slowly and again, to simply be present.

I believe every meaningful story—whether whispered at bedtime or pondered in solitude—holds the power to reshape what we call sacred.

Hey there!

“The most powerful stories don’t explain life—
they make us feel it again.”
