Author: Carrie Wachsmann
Alternate names: Carrie Heide Wachsmann
Bio: Born into a Mennonite family, Carrie spent her childhood in a small farming community in southern Manitoba. 

After she married, she and her husband moved to British Columbia, where they still make their home in charming Abbotsford. 

Carrie's interest in the arts began as a young girl. An imaginative child, she loved to draw, read, write and listen to stories. Their school library consisted of a mere three short shelves of books, not nearly enough to satisfy her need for creative reading and story-telling. 

After school Carrie would often run home to sit down beside their old fashioned, console radio and listen to Aunt Ollie - a half hour program where Aunt Ollie read fables, mysteries and other delightful tales. 

Carrie's passion for storytelling and desire to create continued after marriage and children. She took several writing courses as well as pursuing painting, drawing and film making. She writes for both adults and children, fantasy and adventure being her favorite. 

Carrie is an ordained minister with a M.Min (Professional Writer) and D.Min (Fine Arts & Media)
