I'm an actor and a director and a writer. I've had lots of short stories published, but no novels, yet. I love writing YA, possibly because I wasn't allowed to read it as a kid, and I now have an excuse for reading lots of it. I do not live by a lake with my husband and two cats, Fluffy and Muffy, or weave rugs in my spare time, because I don't have any spare time, but if I did I would get a massage. I am a member of SCBWI, or something like that. I blog at www.carolnissenson.com.
