edit data

Carrie Beamer grew up in Kansas City, Missouri where the sports and barbecue make the humidity in the summer and the frigid temps in the winter worth it. She fell in love with reading as a young girl when she picked up her first Beverly Cleary book and was pulled into the world of Ramona Quimby.

Her passion for writing young adult comes from a love of the mischief we all explored as teens. She believes no matter where you grew up or what era, you walked a fine line of keeping it all together or completely falling apart while navigating the ups and downs of school. Teen angst is a rite of passage that we all recover from at some point, and she loves to write about it.

She works for a local marketing firm by day and fills her nights with writ Carrie Beamer grew up in Kansas City, Missouri where the sports and barbecue make the humidity in the summer and the frigid temps in the winter worth it.

Her passion for writing young adult comes from a love of the mischief we all explored as teens. She believes no matter where you grew up or what era, you walked a fine line of keeping it all together or completely falling apart while navigating the ups and downs of school. Teen angst is a rite of passage that we all recover from at some point, and she loves to write about it.

She works for a local marketing firm by day and fills her nights with writing and reading into the wee hours. Her weekends are spent hanging out with her two sons and trying to tame a couple of obnoxious rescued dogs, and life couldn’t be better.

She has published three YA novels with Evernight Teen titled KEEP WHAT REMAINS and SIGNS WE DON'T SEE and GOING BACK FOR JOJO

Carrie Beamer creció en Kansas City, Missouri, donde los deportes y la barbacoa hacen que la humedad en el verano y las temperaturas frígidas en el invierno valgan la pena. Se enamoró de la lectura siendo una niña cuando tomó su primer libro de Beverly Cleary y se sumergió en el mundo de Ramona Quimby.

Su pasión por escribir para jóvenes adultos viene de un amor por las travesuras que todos exploramos como adolescentes. Cree que no importa de dónde seas o de qué época, siempre caminaste por una delgada línea entre mantenerlo todo junto o desmoronarte completamente mientras navegas por los altibajos de la escuela. La angustia adolescente es un rito de paso del cual todos nos recuperamos en algún momento, y le encanta escribir sobre ello.

Trabaja para una firma de marketing local y llena sus noches escribiendo y leyendo hasta altas horas de la madrugada. Sus fines de semana los pasa pasando tiempo con su familia y tratando de domesticar a un par de perros rescatados bastante traviesos, y la vida no podría ser mejor.
