Despite being the 'fairer' sex, women have long demonstrated that they possess great strength. They instinctively know there is a time for everything and they face it with Strength, Dignity and Determination.
Following in the footsteps of our award nominated first volume; this collection will present you with women who don't always accept the hand fate dealt them. Instead, they find ways to take control of their own destiny. Create new worlds for themselves and others. They accept the consequences of their mistakes with dignity and honor. And, even attempt to convince the Fates themselves to change what has "always been."
These are the stories selected as the Best of The Lorelei Signal 2007. Come in and share in their strengths, triumphs and sorrows.
A native Texan, Carol found her way to her current home in Colorado by way of a five-year detour in The Nederlands - courtesy of her husband Tim and the US Air Force.
An avid reader at a young age, her strong desire to write came from her love of (her husband calls it obsession with) Star Trek. It was this early love of Star Trek that led her to the Science Fiction and Fantasy genres.
Carol's family includes her husband Tim; their son John; and her four-footed canine friend Kans, all of whom somehow manage to tolerate her imaginary friends and worlds.
In addition to her own writing she is an acquisitions editor for Flying Pen Press - also located in Colorado. She also edits and publishes two on-line magazines - The Lorelei Signal and Sorcerous Signals.
