carol's bio, the short version

Carol Berg Carol Berg majored in mathematics at Rice University, in part so she wouldn't have to write papers. But while earning her mathematics degree, she took every English course that listed novels on the syllabus, just so she would have time to keep reading.

Somewhere in the midst of teaching math, raising three sons, earning a second degree in computer science at the University of Colorado, and a software engineering career, another friend teased her into exchanging letters written "in character." Once Carol started writing fiction, she couldn't stop.

Carol's eighteen epic fantasy novels have earned national and international acclaim, including the Geffen Award, the Prism Award, multiple Colorado Book Awards, and the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature. She has been twice voted the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Writer of the Year.

Carol's most recent work, written as her alter ego Cate Glass, is a fantasy adventure series called Chimera about a rag-tag quartet of sorcerers who take on missions of deception and intrigue in a world something like Renaissance Italy, where magic earns the death penalty. The first book is An Illusion of Thieves. Carol lives in Colorado at the foot of the Rocky Mountains with her Exceptional Spouse.
