Murder in the Mountains and other stories (Paperback)

Many of these stories are based on real events, and the author's own experiences - such as a visit to the Morteratsch Glacier in Switzerland with her sister in l966, which inspired "Murder in the Mountains". An organised coach trip through Austria in 2006 with her husband and several curious characters is faithfully recorded in "An Austrian Adventure", but with all the names changed. In the story "Jennie's Oak" this old tree existed in Hazelbadge Fields in Poynton, Cheshire where Carol and her family lived for twenty years. "Bedside Matters" was a painful recollection of the author's stay in Maccles - field hospital. "The Speaker for Tonight..." was gleaned from many talks given by the author to various organisations over several years and is apologetically accurate. Many of the shorter stories grew out of suggested titles given during Creative Writing classes, and projects for homework. This collection follows "Soap In My Eyes", 2005, memories of her career in television, which is still available to order. "DiVerse Re flections" published in 2012; "From Bottisham to Barcombe", a childhood journey through the second world war; "Stage Right", sketches and monologues for ladies; "Simply Stage Struck", the art of acting for amateurs, are all available from Fast-Print Publishers. In 2011, Carol wrote "The Cob Story", published privately in Porthmadog for the U3A, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the building of the great embankment.
