The picture is of me many moons ago (1989) posing with my Nebula and the book that won it. 

All of the writing bio stuff is on the home page so I will just add that I have another web page with more of my other interests like beading and bead designing, my cats, and the bright Mexican-inspired color scheme I painted my house. All of that is at http://www.eascarborough.com. At the time I write this, it badly needs sprucing up, which I will get to. Honest. This year, maybe.

I'm a former R.N. and spent time with the Army Nurse Corps in Vietnam and in several stateside posts including Alaska. I've also worked for the Indian Health Service, run my own handweaving shop (Howling Woof Weavers in Fairbanks, Alaska), lived on what was then pretty much the edge of civilization for about 7 years outside of Fairbanks, have been a guest writer at the 2nd Annual Feminist Book Fair in Oslo, Norway, after which Julian May and I crossed the Arctic Circle to do research for one of her books. Of course, there were the three years of going back and forth to Ireland to write the Petaybee series with Anne McCaffrey too. I received the Edgar Wolfe Award from the Kansas City, Ks. Friends of the Library, which pleased my late mom. Otherwise, I love folk music, cats, chocolate, beading, good books, good conversation and a good laugh.

I'm a terrible punner (and have been known to have punning duals with Todd McCaffrey, which he usually wins).

Anyone wanting to buy books, make movies of my books or offer me pots of money for any of them, please contact me here or through my lovely current publisher, Gypsy Shadow Publishing, who also have great books by other writers including themselves.
