Named after the Stephen King novel, Carrie was destined to be a writer early on–and write she did. All her life, Carrie has been an avid student of craft until recently, when she managed to cross over into the realm of professional author with her story “Dirt Road Magic.” “Dirt Road Magic” is an award-winning short story published in the newly released volume 35 of Writers of the Future. Carrie currently lives in Kentucky with her supportive husband and their Yorkie, Chestnut.
