An avid reader, Carey
began writing fiction as a hobby in high school. After receiving
B.A. degrees in psychology and English literature from Lake Forest
College, she took part in a work exchange program and spent six
months working in a bookstore in London. While living abroad,
the desire to write professionally emerged as a driving passion.
Upon returning, she embarked in earnest on a writing career,
which came to fruition a decade later. During this time she worked
at the art center of an area college, gaining a strong background
in the visual arts. She currently lives in west Michigan.
"The promise of Kushiel's Dart, the first volume
of Carey's immense trilogy set in a skewed Renaissance world,
is more than realized in this splendid conclusion…Effortlessly
rich in adventurous incident, with a huge cast of well-defined
characters, this poignant and robust story will appeal to
both fantasy lovers and fans of erotic romance." -Peter
Cannon, in a Publisher’s Weekly review of Kushiel’s
Avatar
