Carrie is the author of the Kate Benedict Paranormal Mystery Series and the Nobilissima andAugusta historical novels set in Ancient Rome. Born and raised in London, she worked in technology and marketing, first in England, and then in California. She and her family have lived in Spain, Italy, and France. Although she shares Kate’s love of travel, she’d run a mile if she came face to face with any of the murderous types Kate has to deal with. Still, she’d love to time travel back to Ravenna in the fifth century to visit Empress Placidia and her court. For now, she and her husband enjoy doing up old houses when they’re not walking Toby, their crazy chocolate Labrador. They have two wonderful daughters and a cat who helps Carrie’s writing process by sleeping on her laptop.

She loves to hear from her readers and responds to all comments and enquiries.  Please email her at carriebedford@icloud.com.
