Autorenporträt

Carol Story's mother had a habit of writing rhymes to mark special occasions; she always referred to them as "Rotten Rhymes". Over the years, Carol had picked up that habit and would write rhymes to commemorate special occasions of friends and family - retirements, weddings, relocations. She started writing Rotten Rhymes late in her career in the corporate world and continued to do so even more after retirement. In 2019, Carol began volunteering for Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport, where she chats with guests and gives them information and insights about the many animal residents there, as well as a little about the history of the Zoo. She enjoyed writing "Ellie's Day at the Shore" so much that she decided to write a book about Ellie and Carol going to the zoo. She collaborated on the project with Jack Bradley, another zoo volunteer who is also a photographer. After finishing these two books, Carol's partner George would suggest she write a book about hiking in the Connecticut woods. "Ellie's Day in the Woods" is the result of that! Carol also writes for and edits "The Howler," a newsletter for volunteers and staff of Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport. Carol lives in Connecticut and is a volunteer Docent at the Zoo.
