She is the author of works as diverse asPups in Tea Cups: Tales of “Littleness” Overcoming BIG Oddsto30 Pieces of Silver, an extremely controversial historical thriller. Pretty much if Carolyn reads a genre, she writes a genre.Ben Hopkin is a transplanted Texan. After being indoctrinated in the Lone Star State, he was ripped from his ancestral home and whisked away to Los Angeles, where he was forced to appreciate fish tacos and sushi. While there, he worked as a professional actor, director, and producer, as well as a teacher, which he loves most. He has now settled in Provo, Utah, with his wife and three children. Just in case there was any question, Provo is NOT a happy medium between Ft. Worth and LA, although his kids have made the transition from body boards to snowboards seamlessly.
