CARRIE KARNES-FANNIN

When she was nine and living in Arkansas, Carrie read The Call of the Wild, leading to a failed attempt to turn her dachshund and beagle into sled dogs. But author Jack London did succeed in inspiring her to create stories and share them. 
 
Carrie's humorous fictional stories are often influenced by Douglas Adams' masterpiece The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. When procrastinating from writing, you'll find Carrie collecting fun words such as "collywobbles" and "conundrum" in notebooks, while doodling in the margins.

 
If you'd like to discuss a project, whether "42" is really the meaning of life, or the impossibility of dog sledding without huskies, a sled, or even snow, drop Carrie a line via the contact form.
