A lifelong reader, Carmel turned her love of words into a writing career. She published poetry in children's journals, and, most recently, published the historical fiction novel, A Winter's Flood, which takes place in Louisville, Ky during the great flood of 1937.

Carmel's other passion, helping those in need, prompted her work with 'Mittens for Akkol,' an organization that provides knitted mittens, socks, sweaters, hats, and scarves to orphans in Kazakhstan.

Carmel passed away in 2017, at the age of 66, after battling cancer.
